The Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial (FOSS4G) 2008 conference, is being hosted on the African continent for the first time, in Cape Town. It is the best opportunity this year for exposure to local and international delegates and networking for your organisation. It incorporates the GeoInformation Society of South Africa (GISSA) 2008 biennial conference, and the participation of the proprietary geo-informatics software community will create the perfect platform for lively debates and creative solutions in addressing the theme: “Open Source Geospatial: An Option for Developing Nations”.
Approximately 500 GIS users, Government officials, business people and technology experts from over 50 countries will be attending. The conference is an opportunity for Geospatial users, developers, service and solution providers, mapping agencies, managers and decision makers, to mix with international delegates and should not be missed!
