FOSS4G Belgium 2017
After the very succesful FOSS4G Belgium event in 2015, OSGeo.be will organise another edition of the FOSS4G Belgium Conference on Thursday 26 October 2017.
FOSS4G conferences gather developers and users of Open Source geospatial software as well as managers and decision-makers from around the world to discuss new directions, exciting implementations, and growing business opportunities in this domain. Recent years have seen substantial changes in the geospatial industry. One of those changes has been the growth in maturity and adoption of Free and Open Source solutions. In many cases organizations are using a mixture of open and closed source solutions.
We are looking for sponsors who want to support this event.
Target Audience and Structure of the Event
The goal of the conference is to target a broad audience of at least 300 participants.
There will be plenary sessions with a high-level keynote speaker (tbd), a main track with presentations of use cases, one side track targeting IT-officers and covering the practicalities of the use of FOSS4G in institutional settings, and a second side track targeting developers of FOSS4G.
Presentations and debates with be both in English and in the major official languages of Belgium: Dutch and French.
