It's been a month since The Fifth Elephant, but we at HasGeek are not kicking back and relaxing yet. Instead we have a great event lined up for next month!
Cartonama, is a conference on geospatial data, technology, apps and the community around it. The conference is on September 22, 2012 at the MLR Convention Centre, JP Nagar, Bangalore.
Location data is rapidly becoming necessary infrastructure in many organizations and businesses and this necessitates dialogue on issues such as standards, quality of data, licensing, best practises and community. The conference intends to bring together people working with geo-spatial data, maps and the technologies around them to be a part of such a dialogue.
We are inviting representatives from OSM, Bing, Google Maps, Yahoo! Maps, and cartography organisations and enthusiasts in India and abroad and we'd hear from them on their approaches, philosophies, technology and business models. We will also feature short talks and demos from startups and mid-sized companies which have developed location based services.
Register now for Cartonama, or if you'd like to propose a talk, we're still acceptting submissions until the end of this week, so
propose a talk now!
