This event is part of the Geospatial World Forum, an annual international conference and exhibition, which supports dialogue geospatial technologies and their role in promoting economic and social development. Organized in India (2007, 2009 and 2011), the Netherlands (2012 and 2013), Switzerland (2014) and now in Portugal, this global platform brings together more than 1,000 delegates from over 80 countries deliberating on geospatial technologies and their role in promoting sustainable development. This year with the theme CONVERGENCE: Policies + Practices + Processes via PPP, the conference addressed the need for greater coordination among policy-makers, technology providers and users to benefit the industry. In addition it highlighted geospatial workflows as an enabler for successful PPPs by facilitating more informed decision making among the stakeholders. More information, view Geospatial World Forum.
