[Discuss] B2B Session at FOSS4G-Asia 2023 Seoul
by ì ìí¬(Sanghee Shin) 15 Sep '23

15 Sep '23

Dear All, I am excited to inform you that the FOSS4G-Asia Seoul team is organizing a special B2B (Business to Business) session on the 30th of November (Thursday). We have secured a room for a two-hour session, where we aim to foster a vibrant and collaborative environment. As many of you know, FOSS4G and open-source GIS have become mainstream businesses throughout Asia. This B2B session serves as a platform where companies can share experiences in the open-source sector, showcase their technologies, seek assistance from peers, and potentially find business partners. I envision this event to be a departure from traditional business networking sessions. It will be a hybrid gathering that melds community spirit with business culture. In a bid to encourage a diverse and inclusive participation, we have waived the admission fees; the session is open to all who are interested. We invite all attendees to join us for a Gala Dinner following the session on that night. This B2B session is an excellent opportunity for networking and promoting your company. If you or your company are interested in participating, please email me, and I will ensure a slot is reserved for your company. Kind regards, ê°ì¬í©ëë¤. ì ìí¬ --- Shin, Sanghee Gaia3D, Inc. - The GeoSpatial Company www.gaia3d.com<http://www.gaia3d.com/>

Dear All; *Requesting nominations for the David A. Hastings Award* The FOSS4G-Asia 2018 organizing committee is proud to announce the inaugural *David A.

He also led an âInstallfestâ at that FOSS4G 2004 event, which set the tone for so many future events.

Dear All, As you may be aware, the FOSS4G-Asia 2023(https://foss4g.asia/2023/) will take place in Seoul from 28th Nov. to 2dn Dec. 2023. On behalf of the Seoul team, I'd like to share 2 things about the conference here. 1. Travel Grants Program(TGP) Yes, Travel Grants are available! To make it a more diverse and inclusive event, Travel Grants will be provided to individuals from Asian countries, with a focus on assisting those who would not be able to attend otherwise. Please share this great news in and around your community so that more people could apply for the TGP. For details, see https://foss4g.asia/2023/travel-grant-program/ I highly recommend TGP applicants to submit proposals through https://foss4g.asia/2023/call-for-presentations/. FYI, Call for Presentaions will be closed on 11th August. 2. Sponsoring Opportunity We ask for your generous sponsorship for the TGP. All your sponsorship will be used exclusively for the TGP. This means the more you sponsor the event, the more people could have the opportunity to attend the FOSS4G-Asia 2023 Seoul conference. This yearâs FOSS4G-Asia is particularly special for participants as it will be held as part of Seoul GeoWeek. FOSS4G-Asia, UN-Open GIS(In planning), Seoul Geospatial Forum, Korea Spatial Information Societyâs Fall Meeting, and UN-HABITATâs UTC (Urban Thinkers Campus) will be held at the same venue as part of Seoul GeoWeek. This provides a unique opportunity for participants to connect and network with like-minded geospatial professionals from diverse backgrounds in one location. For details about sponsoring the event, please see https://foss4g.asia/2023/call-for-sponsors/ Seoul team is diligently preparing for the event and hopes to see many of you in Seoul this November.
