Summary

Tuesday 17 - Saturday 21 November 2009

Sydney, Australia

FOSS4G, the annual conference attracting the best of Geospatial Open Source users and developers, will meet in Sydney, Australia in 2009. The conference theme, User Driven, will extend the gathering of the tribes vibe to embrace users and users' case studies.

This marketing document identifies key people likely to attend the FOSS4G conference, how to reach them, and what their motivations are for coming. Resulting from this analysis we should tweak our program to ensure it is attractive for our delegates, and focus our marketing efforts to ensure we reach interested delegates.

To brush up on the basics of a Marketing Plan, I suggest skimming over Quick MBA Marketing Plan.
