The Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) will be holding their next Technical and Planning Committee Meeting in Sydney from Monday 30 November 2015 – Friday 4 December 2015. The tentative agenda is available on the event website and registrations are now open to all, with an earlybird price ending 27 November.
The event is sponsored by the Australian Federal Government, CSIRO and Data61, and will be held at Sydney’s Australian Technology park in Eveleigh.
Running over four full days, as well as a fifth invite only day on the Friday, the meeting will encompass the operations of both the OGC Technical Committee and the OGC Planning Committee.
