Esri is pleased to be sponsoring the inaugural Maps Camp on July 9th, 2016 at UN Headquarters in New York City. This low cost, single day event is one of over 30 OpenCamps that will bring together 6,000+ attendees excited about engaging with open source communities. We've had a great time collaborating with folks from Mapzen, MapBox, CartoDB and OpenStreetMap US to curate the content and can't wait to see you there!
Maps Camp will be a smorgasbord of talks, panels, and workshops to discuss the intersection of mapping and open source. We'll discuss the history of GPS, philosophies of OSS and the future. If you're in the area, we sincerely hope you can join us. If you'd like to give a lightning talk of your own, even better! At a bare minimum, I beseech you to let your friends on the East Coast know about this fun filled day of geo-geekery.
For more information on the event and to register, visit the Maps Camp website. You can also engage with the organizing committee on Twitter @maps_camp, via email, or through the Maps Camp GitHub repo. And as always, feel free to get in touch via Twitter @EsriGeoDev!
