As in previous years, the format of Lightning Talks will be used as as the principal means of participation. Lightning talk sessions accommodates as many presentations as possible whilst showcasing a wide variety of FOSS4G and OSGeo applications in Ireland. Lightning talks will be strictly limited to 7 minutes. There will be a separate call for student posters (which will not have a presentation attached). The call for posters is shown below. Ideally, presentations should focus on the use of FOSS4G and OSGeo applications and software by large companies, SMEs, individuals, national and local government, academia (students, researchers, academics), volunteer communities, citizen scientists, etc who are based in Ireland.

Eligibility: Any student who is currently enrolled or registered in ANY Irish University, College, Research Institution, Training School or Secondary School is eligible for entry. At least one of the students named as authors/creators of the poster [https://www.eventbrite.ie/e/osgeoie-the-3rd-irish-osgeo-symposium-2019-tickets-55405236554#tickets must register at the student rate] for OSGeoIE 2019.  
+
=== WORKSHOP DESCRIPTIONS ===
 +
All delegates will be provided with an OSGeo Live Bootable USB Key containing a fully operational [https://live.osgeo.org/en/index.html OSGeo Live distribution]. Delegates are required to bring their own laptops. This is a Bring Your Own Device event. The descriptions of the workshops are provided below. Delegates should check before the Symposium if their laptops can be booted up from a USB key. In some cases work laptops from organisations and companies have this feature disabled for security reasons. Delegates should check with their IT support teams if their laptops can allow booting from a USB key. There will be no laptops available at the workshop(s)
  
Poster Content/Focus: If you are a student and you are working with OSGeo or FOSS4G tools or services then why not tell us about your experiences, your work, etc regarding using these tools and services. Perhaps you are using Open (Spatial/Geographic) Data or other Open Source Software to work with spatial/geographic data in your work?
+
'''At registration, in the morning of the event, you can sign up for the workshop of your choice.''' 
  
Posters should be A0 or A1 size. Entrants will be responsible for the printing and production costs of their own posters. Unfortunately we cannot provide support or printing facilities in this regard.
 
 
There will be a prize for poster which is voted by OSGeoIE 2019 delegates as the 'Best Poster'. The prize will be announced in the final closing session.
 
 
===Symposium Programme Outline (as March 10th 2019)===
 
The table below is the first outline draft of the symposium programme. The timings are subject to change. Changes will be clearly notified on this webpage, social media and by email where appropriate. More specific details of each of the sessions will be added in the coming weeks.

<big>Sponsorship Packages and Options</big>
 
 
This year we are being proactive and reaching out to companies and SMEs who may be interested in sponsoring OSGeoIE but who may, as yet, not be aware of the symposium or the activity of the OSGeo community in Ireland. The OSGeoIE symposium format is personal, informative and friendly. It will be '''a great opportunity for your company to showcase your products, connect with other experts and interact with potential talent for your recruitment needs'''. Our aim is to present a mix of both world class use of OSGeo, FOSS4G and other open source tools whilst showcasing Irish talent and expertise in this space.
 
 
OSGeoIE brings in professional users of OSGeo software and FOSS4G from academia, industry and local and national government. In the previous years we have had participants from almost all major Irish entities: Ordnance Survey, Environmental Protection Agency, Coillte and local councils and others. We also encourage third level students to attend and offer student ticket options.
 
  
Sponsorship (both packages) and a stall or booth (Gold package only) present an opportunity to connect directly with the delegates attending OSGeoIE 2019. The skill set of OSGeoIE delegates are rarely limited to GIS-related software and tools only. Many delegates are experienced researchers, scientists, policy makers, planners, software developers, etc. With the gold sponsorship package you will get two tickets to the conference and a dedicated booth in the event space. We believe that this a fantastic value for your investment. In both cases sponsorship of OSGeoIE 2019 provides opportunities to meet the Irish OSGeo  community, publicise job openings and network.
 
  
There are two sponsorship packages available:
 
  
'''OSGeoIE 2019 Gold (€500):''' Logo (banner) on all OSGeoIE 2019 related websites. Specific mentions/shares on Twitter. Booth space at OSGeoIE 2019 to support demos, face-to-face meetings and distribution of promotional materials to delegates. 2 X OSGeoIE Tickets
