Cartonama - Geo-spatial data, apps and technology event in Bangalore, India

[Nikhil Lanjewar]

Hi,

HasGeek is a Bangalore-based organisation. We put together events for developers with the intention of creating discussion spaces about technologies that are new today, and could become mainstream tomorrow. Our upcoming event is called Cartonama and is a geo-spatial/location data conference being held on September 22, 2012 at the MLR Convention Centre, JP Nagar, Bangalore.

Location data is rapidly becoming necessary infrastructure 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 would love to hear from them on their approaches, philosophies, technology and business models. We also will be feature short talks and demos from startups and mid-sized companies which have developed location based services.

We'd love to have participation from the Neo4j Spatial community and hear from you on your learnings and experiences in the geo-spatial ecosystem.

As with all HasGeek events, proposals for talks go through a community voting process before being selected for the conference. You can submit a talk/workshop proposal here: http://funnel.hasgeek.com/cartonama

Although our "Early Geek" price on tickets for the conference closed on Tuesday, we're offering the Neo4j community an extra week to purchase tickets at the "Early Geek" price. Visit http://cartonama.doattend.com to purchase a ticket and use the discount code Neo4jCarto when you buy a ticket to get the "Early Geek" price of Rs 1000.

Looking forward to seeing you all at the conference!
