Registration
REGISTRATION IS FULL.
Registration opened at 9am Jan 30, and we reached our maximum capacity of 50 before 5pm the same day! We later increased capacity to 75, in order to accommodate people from our waiting list.
We also plan to live-stream or recording some sessions.
One goal of this conference it to build a stronger regional open-source GIS community. We will be facilitating a mentor-mentee program in which an experienced QGIS user will be matched with a beginner with similar interests. You can sign up to be a mentor or mentee when you register.
