Because There's More To Geo Than Just Maps And Check-Ins
- W3G 2011; It’s A Wrap
Another year, another W3G and another day’s worth of geo related insight, inanity, information and irreverence passed by all too quickly. Being an unconference, the day didn’t quite go as planned, with frantic schedule changes and plaintive calls on mobile phones to find out where people were and why they weren’t where they were supposed [...]

- Things change….
…and sometimes, even when it’s not 100% planned, they change in a positive way. And that (thank the heavens) is what has happened here. It is with regret that Emer Coleman has had to pull out of #w3g. We really hope that we will be seeing her at a #w3g event in the future, but in meantime….(drum [...]
- Yippee!
We are delighted to welcome Yahoo! as a sponsor. They will not only be supplying some of the hard cash to enable us to keep #w3g a free event, they will also be attending…so we’re hoping to hear a pitch from at least one of them (hint hint guys). Now, should anyone else want to [...]
- 20 days to go….
…are you ready? Here’s the essential guide to preparing for #w3g 1. get ticket (EventBrite) 2. tell everyone else that you’re going (Lanyrd, LinkedIn, and Walls…) (you may need to refresh page to see this – it’s worth the button click, but only just)3. prepare your 20 min. slot. “What?” you say. “I have to [...]
- Join The Geo Debate
Which conferences do you prefer? The lecture type or the debate type? Head over to Gary’s Bloggage for a moment to find out what W3G’s conference chair thinks.

- a ‘key’ Key Note speaker….
OK, we know it’s an ‘unconference’ but when someone with these credentials is able to attend, we’re going to make a special announcement, so…. It is with great pleasure that we can confirm that Emer Coleman, Director of Digital Projects at the Greater London Authority will be giving her views of Open Data at #w3g. As [...]

- More sponsorship opportunities
We all like to see our company logo’s on things – it’s a human condition apparently – so we thought we’d give you a chance to stick your logo on, well, er…everything: Logo stickers, sold in non-exclusive batches of 50, can be attached to: #geo-beer (for £3 each. hey, what can we say? It’s popular); [...]
