3rd Symposium at SRH University of Applied Science Berlin

Summary

Dear GeoITists,

Join us on 16 March for the GeoIT Symposium, a vibrant evening of ideas, innovation and connection in the heart of the geospatial tech world.

Discover a curated series of short, dynamic talks (20 minutes each) exploring cutting-edge topics such as geoinformatics, indoor localisation, earth observation, robotics, drones and AI. Whether you're a seasoned expert or simply curious about the field, this is your chance to hear from passionate voices and stay ahead of the curve.

After the talks, enjoy a relaxed apéritif where you can network with fellow professionals, researchers and enthusiasts. Great conversations always start with good food and a drink in hand.
