A free, one day, (un)conference on the "3 W's of Geo"
- w3gconf and GeoCommunity ’10 – Back to Back Geo Goodness
Coming to W3G? Well, of course you are, but have you also considered the #geocom conference? This year W3G and the AGI GeoCommunity conferences are being run back-to-back offering you unrivalled access to some really impressive speakers from across this diverse industry, ranging from state of the art GIS through to Web 2.0 geo APIs [...]
- STAR-APIC and GeoVation Go Geotastic For Silver Sponsorship
If you’ve been avidly following this blog (and if not, then why not), you’ll have noticed we put out a call for sponsors earlier in the month. That call hasn’t been in vain and the organising team thus have great pleasure (or to put it another way, we’re rather chuffed) to welcome two Silver level [...]
- Blog Ergo Sum
Or as Rene Descartes might have said, had he been around today, I blog therefore I am. But do you blog? If so, w3gconf has just the ticket for you. Literally. The first batch of tickets flew out of the EventBrite door; well, at least they gently ambled. We’ll be releasing another batch of tickets [...]
- It’s Registration Time!
After a lot of blog posts, a lot of Twitter, err, Tweets and a lot of questions, all along the lines of “yes, well, this publicity is all well and good but when can I actually register for w3gconf?”, the first batch of tickets is now up and ready for grabs on EventBrite. This is [...]
- We Need Your Sponsorship (Your Chance To Be Part Of It, Part 2)
Update: If you’re thinking of becoming a sponsor, our going to press deadline for your logo is September 3rd. 2010. So don’t delay; sponsor w3gconf today! As we’ve mentioned before on this blog, w3gconf is free to attend. That’s free, no charge, gratis. But sadly that doesn’t mean it’s free to put on, which is [...]
- w3gconf – Your Chance To Be Part Of It – Part 1
The plans for the first w3gconf are coming along nicely; we’ll be releasing the first batch of tickets towards the end of this week, we’ve got a stellar lineup of speakers, some seasoned geo-professional speakers, some making their first foray into speaking and we’ll be recording a This Week In Maps podcast live before you, [...]
- The Maptastic Combination of w3gconf and This Week In Maps
You’re obviously all avid listeners of this This Week In Maps, a (sort of) weekly podcast about the latest maptastic geohappings (I’m merely quoting here) that’s benevolently chaired by Steve Coast, founder of the crowd sourced, community mapping phenomenon that is OpenStreetMap. What? You’re not. Well run, don’t walk, to either the iTunes store or [...]
- Speaker #4 – Steven Feldman – “Just because you can put something on a map …”
After a bit of a quiet period, what better way to move towards the end of the week than another w3gconf speaker to whet your geo-appetite? A geo-industry veteran, who’s not in the least bit afraid to ask hard questions and challenge prevailing wisdom, Steven Feldman will be opining wildly on the topic of “Just [...]
- Speaker #3 – Dan Pett, “Geodata At The British Museum”
It’s Tuesday and that means we need a new speaker on the w3gconf roster and this one’s a cracker. Dan Pett from the British Museum, will be speaking about “Leveraging geodata to enhance archaeological recording at the British Museum”. Adoption of geo APIs by the Portable Antiquities Scheme, based at the British Museum, has enabled [...]
- Speaker #2 – Nick Bicanic, “Push vs. Pull”
Next on the w3gconf speaker list is Nick Bicanic, CEO of Purpose Wireless, who’ll be talking about “Push vs. Pull or How Do You Actually Find Your Friends?” I want to compare and contrast various different issues inherent to location sharing… What happens then you put location/preferences into a cloud? – who owns the data?
