The 2025 FOSS4G Committee has released a deal for a $700 registration to the conference just for our list members!  Also, if you are a community contributor, you can apply for the contributor registration of $450

Head here to register to what looks like an awesome line-up including:
  • The QGIS Project Chair -  Marco Bernasocchi in an 'Ask me anything' session
  • Talks about how national government's (Finland and NZ) have adapted their cartography to QGIS 
  • A workshop to create a QGIS Plugin, 
  • Heaps of cartography and QGIS workshops 
  • Meet Ujavel Gandhi - the writer of the official QGIS tutorials and go to his talk 'Wait QGIS can do what?"
If you are concerned about accommodation -- there is still some available, it is a challenge for us Hobbits to find it, but the treasure is there. An option is to find something in Devonport or on the islands - the Ferry service is pretty good. 

Massive thanks to FOSS4G Committee for offering this to us.

Of course I’m a wee bit biased being co-chair for FOSS4G Auckland, but this is a very rare opportunity to meet up with like-minded professionals from around the globe in our own backyard!

 

It’s been 16 years since the last FOSS4G in our region (Sydney 2009) and will likely be decades before we get another opportunity like this.

 

We have absolutely amazing QGIS talent in Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific - lets show the global community who we are and what we do!

 

Cheers

Si
