Geofumadas: 3 interesting topics for this year
Some issues that draw attention to our context are on the way, I take a busy week to suggest readings between lines and dates that should be scheduled.
1. Currently: Survey in the geospatial sector
From Geospatialtraininges.com they propose that we fill out a questionnaire regarding our occupational condition. In this we must always collaborate, because in addition to being data that is used confidentially and anonymously, it allows companies to assess the socioeconomic context and adjust prices of products and services to reality.
In general, in our Hispanic environment it is always required to lower prices compared to how they are offered to the Anglo-Saxon market. For that reason, I suggest supporting the initiative. If in the end you are interested in knowing the statistical results of the survey, you can add your email, although it is optional.
Fill out the survey
2. Nearby: The Geospatial World Forum
From 23 to 27 of April will be held in Amsterdam, a new edition of the World Geospatial Forum, promoted by Geospatial Media and this time focused on the theme: The Geospatial Industry and the World Economy.
This event is attended by the majority of companies and institutions that contribute to the evolution of the geospatial industry, whether in product development, service provision or regulatory management. Although the event has a greater influx of the European context, the graph based on 2,500 registered attendees from recent forums shows how this event has a global reach.
- Asia Pacific 300
- Middle East 200
- Africa 100
- Latin America 100
- Europe 1500
- North America 300
3. Later: The Ibero-American Congress of Geomatics and Earth Sciences.
From 16 to 19 October 2012 will be held in Madrid the X Topcart, which is promoting the Official College of Technical Topography Engineers of Spain. The objective is always to publicize the scientific and technical advances in the field of Topography, Cartography and other related sciences in the 10 different areas:
- 1 AREA: Geodetic and Cartographic Reference Systems.
