There are only a few days left to take advantage of early bird registration rates for the 10th Digital Earth Summit / Locate26 Conference.
The early bird deadline for registration is Monday, 14 September.
Beyond Monday, the standard rate will apply up until 26 October, after which a late rate will apply. So it makes a lot of sense to grab the early bird rate if you can. The 30% difference between that and the late rate for a full registration, amounts to a saving of $300.
The detailed conference program is now out, featuring more than 140 presentations of various kinds. You can read all about it in our earlier article.
