<br>
These events run by the Royal Geographical Society (with the Institute of British Geographers) might be of wider interest. Thanks to Mark Mulligan for sharing this info.
<br>
<br>
Also the <b>Geo-technology in the Field: GIS, GPS, and Remote sensing for fieldwork workshop</b> (Monday 25 and Tuesday 26 April 2016) which will cover Open source GIS, GPS Data and monitoring etc might be of interest.<br>
