[OSGeo-Discuss] Regional Conference with a significant OSGeo footprint.

[Dirk Frigne]

Jody,

This is exactly what we are doing with OSGeo.BE.
Last edition (Mar 2017) we attended BeGeo[1], an event where more than
1000 GIS experts attend.
In 2018 the event will be even attract more people.  We want to have a
booth there, and are also organising one of the 9 parallel tracks [2]:

I suggested as the title of the track: How open collaboration can help
geospatial intelligence to the next level?
