Geoinnovation - for fun or profit
Geomob is a series of regular events in European cities for location based service creators and enthusiasts.
We meet every few months, and provide a relaxed forum to learn about and discuss geoinnovation in any and all forms.

Fans of clever cartography are in for a treat - this week Steven interviews
Eric Rodenbeck and Alan McConchie of Stamen, a
well known data visualization and map design company. Over the years Stamen
has created so many beautiful, thought-provoking, and widely used maps.
Most recently they produced the design for Facebook's new OpenStreetMap-based,
global base map. The discussion is wide-ranging and covers the history of the
business, the role of cartographers in the digital age, working with
OpenStreetMap, mapping tools like Field Papers, their favourite projects,
and much more.
