GA Conference Report 4 - digitalearth

After a trip to the conference venue to catch up with colleagues, it was over to the Manchester Conference Centre to meet up with colleagues from the digitalearth.eu project.
I was pleased to finally meet up with Joseph Kerski, who has been doing amazing work over in the USA for many years with ESRI.
Also met Ian Cook from Follow the Things (of which more later) and had lunch with him and Nick Lapthorn of the FSC (of which more later)

Also met up with some of the members of SIG4 - the Special Interest Group that I have been involved with, and met some new colleagues who were involved with the group.

digitalearth.eu is a project that I have been involved with since 2011, and will continue to be involved with. It is aimed at exemplifying and sharing good practice in the use of geo-media and geo-information.

We had (another) lunch, followed by 3 hours of meetings, which involved some wide ranging discussions, and also a chance to meet up with various other colleagues in the break. Plenty of good discussions and new connections being made. Ideas for future events and workshops being offered...

More on digitalearth and the lecture that we gave in a future post.
