We celebrated #GISDay with not one, but two Geomob events. A #geomobBER, but also a #geomobLX in the heart of the Portuguese capital.
Thanks as always to Startup Lisboa for opening your doors late to the community, and to our organisers @doublebyte and Miguel Marques for hosting such a wonderful evening.
9/ It was time to vote for the best speaker ...
Alana took home the prize - a voucher for a custom SplashMap https://www.splash-maps.com
👏👏👏👏
Thank you to all of our speakers for sharing their projects
If you would like to speak at a future event, in Berlin or elsewhere, please volunteer here: https://thegeomob.com/volunteer-to-speak
7/ Finally we closed the talk portion of the evening with a presentation by Muthu Kumar from the Open Geospatial Consortium sharing the important work they do to define open standards and thus accelerate innovation by making it easier for all players in the geospatial world to collaborate.
It was another great one last night at Geomob Berlin
Here's our summary thread of the evening for this who couldn't attend
1/
6/ How to use geospatial data to help overcome charging and range anxiety for drivers of electrical vehicles was the focus of the next talk by Alexander Lehmann of HERE
2/ First things first, we extend a huge thanks to HERE https://www.here.com for hosting us at their office in Mitte
And our other sponsors Mapular https://www.mapular.com OpenCage https://opencagedata.com and the Open Geospatial Consortium https://www.ogc.org for funding the evening
🙏🙏🙏
3/ First speaker was Harald Körtge who took us on a walk down memory lane sharing his experiences programming a routing service for Palm Pilot devices over 20 years ago.
While the hardware has changed radically since then, many of the core concepts remain
10/ The speakers had given us a lot to discuss - we headed to the pub to reflect on the evening.
It was a fun one - our final Berlin event of 2025. But the date of the first 2026 event is already set!
We will see you all on 🗓️ Wed. 25 Feb when we will be hosted by our friends at Up42 in Kreuzberg
Sign-up is open, the speaker line-up looks great, though we do have one more spot if someone wants to volunteer ...
4/ Routing was also the focus in our next talk
Patrick Niklaus, of Kale AI https://kale.ai shared the work they are doing to use #OpenStreetMap data to optimize mixed fleet delivery operations, particularly cycle delivery.
5/ Next up was Alana Belcon, sharing her life-long love of maps, and taking us through the major milestones in the history of human map making.
She closed with the wise reminder to never trust the map, to always question everything
@geomob have fun. Great to see familiar faces in this first picture of #geomobBER from a #GeomobLDN resident
The crowd is filing in, should be a big one tonight #geomobBER
We‘re setting up for Geomob Berlin. Will post a full summary thread of the evening tomorrow #geomobBER
