Keynote: Orlando's Ultimate Experience
Tim Giuliani, President and CEO,  Orlando Economic Partnership 

We are on the verge of a revolution in the use of interactive 3D technology to life-like digital models of physical assets and infrastructure. From product development, real estate development, risk management to city and utility planning, the use of digital twins is accelerating and Florida is leading the way with some of the most innovative solutions in the United States. Come hear how The Orlando Economic Partnership, along with its partners, is embarking on a project that is the first of its kind in the world – funding a futuristic, fully realized digital twin that will showcase the entire region with input from multiple stakeholders. The brand-new 3D technology will be the first to allow users to incorporate real-time, interactive data that can help them map out different scenarios from climate change, to infrastructure, available real estate and more.

Keynote: Vancouver Airport - Building the YVR Digital Twin
Christopher Gilliland, Innovative Travel Solutions, Vancouver Airport Authority (YVR)

Learn how an airport is embracing the power of a digital twin and using it to not only transform its operations but also to connect with its community and to build new revenue streams.

Keynote: Digital Twins of the Earth and the Ocean presented through the ILIAD project
Arne J. Berre, Chief Scientist at SINTEF Digital and Innovation Director at the Norwegian Center for AI Innovation (NorwAI)

The ILIAD – Digital Twins of the Ocean project is part of a larger initiative on Digital Twins of the Earth - through the European Destination Earth program and Green Deal, and also related to the UN Ocean Decade 2020-2030 DITTO program on Digital Twins of the Ocean and the European Digital Twin of the Ocean. The Turtle initiative within DITTO focuses on interoperability among multiple Digital Twins and supporting systems. The talk presents the ILIAD project in the context of this wider picture and discusses the related Digital Twins of the Ocean pilots and application areas as well as challenges and approaches to support interoperability of both geospatial/spatial temporal Digital Twins and asset-oriented Digital Twins. To realize its potential, the ILIAD Digital Twins of the Ocean will follow a System of Systems approach, integrating the plethora of existing EU Earth observing and modelling digital infrastructures and facilities, using a Digital Twins pipeline architecture and relate to various interoperability frameworks. To promote additional applications through ILIAD Digital Twins of the Ocean, the partners will create the ILIAD Marketplace, included a market for geosciences related applications and services. Like an app store, providers will use the ILIAD Marketplace to distribute apps, plug-ins, interfaces, raw data, citizen science data, synthesized information, and value-adding services derived from the ILIAD Digital Twins of the Ocean. It will also be an efficient way for scientists and other users to discover and find relevant applications and services.
