Why attend?
BGS has developed apps involving maps, 3D visualisation, crowd sourcing and augmented reality. Many other organisations and universities are doing the same, so we thought we would take the opportunity to bring together some developers and technologists to share ideas on new apps and best practice.
• Find out how other organisations are making use of mobile technologies
• Network with developers and decision makers exploiting these exciting new technologies
• Share ideas for new apps
• Discover potential collaborators
• Demonstrate your own apps during open sessions
