Preface
                                This volume contains the papers presented at the Second International Workshop on
                                Geographic Information Extraction from Texts (GeoExT1 ), held on March 24, 2024, in
                                Glasgow, Scotland, as part of the 46th European Conference on Information Retrieval
                                (ECIR 2024). We received 14 submissions from authors from 5 countries, out of which
                                12 papers were accepted. Each submission underwent a review process by at least two
                                program committee members. The workshop featured an invited speaker, Beatrice Alex,
                                who delivered a talk entitled ‘News Media as a Lens: Exploring Neighbourhood Health
                                through the Analysis of Geoparsed and Clustered Local News’. We want to acknowledge
                                ECIR for hosting the workshop, our keynote speaker, the program committee, paper
                                authors, and attendees, without whom this event would not have been possible. We
                                also extend our sincere gratitude to CEUR Workshop Proceedings for their support in
                                publishing the outcomes of our workshop.
