what3words Webinar

Learn how to plan and deliver products and services to any location in Australia – no matter how ambiguous the address with what3words.

what3words has divided the world into a grid of 3m x 3m squares and assigned each one a unique 3 word address, providing a precise and incredibly simple way to talk about location. It means everyone and everywhere now has an address.

Join Peter Landis, 360HR’s geospatial recruitment specialist, as he interviews Tom Blaksley from what3words, to uncover the potential and real world applications benefiting from this revolutionary solution to an age old problem.
