FOSS4G Belgium 2016

Na de eerste geslaagde editie van het Belgisch FOSS4G event in 2015, organiseert OSGeo.be een nieuwe editie van deze FOSS4G.BE conferentie op donderdag 22 september 2016.

FOSS4G conferenties brengen ontwikkelaars en gebruikers (zowel managers als beslissers) van open source geomatica software uit de hele wereld samen, om nieuwe richtingen, sprekende implementaties en groeiende zakelijke kansen in het gebied te bespreken. De afgelopen jaren hebben we veel veranderingen in de geo-ict sector gezien. Een van deze veranderingen is de toenemende volwassenheid van open source oplossingen en hun implementatie. Vaak gebruiken organisaties een combinatie van open source en eigen oplossingen.

Momenteel zijn we op zoek naar bijdragen voor dit tweede Belgische FOSS4G.


Beoogde doelgroep

Het doel van de conferentie is om een ​​breed publiek te bereiken, zo’n 300 deelnemers. De conferentie zal onder meer plenaire zittingen omvatten, waarbij een keynote spreker zal uitgenodigd worden. Eén van de belangrijkste sessies zal de focus leggen op use cases, maar ook tal van parallelle sessies zullen gepresenteerd worden zowel voor ontwikkelaars als gebruikers.

De presentaties en discussies zullen in het Engels zijn, het Nederlands en het Frans (simultane vertaling in de plenaire sessie). Meer informatie kan u lezen op de website.

Date and Venue

The event will take place on September 22, 2016 in the beautiful new conference facilities of the [http://www.environnement.brussels/ Environment and Energy Agency] of the Brussels Capital Region which supports the event by providing the location.
