What is the FOSS4G-IT 2020 conference?

The FOSS4G-IT 2020 conference is a four-day event organised jointly by the Polytechnic University of Turin, the Italian Association for Free Geographical Information GFOSS.it and Wikimedia Italia. FOSS4G-it 2020 brings together different communities that use free geographic data and free and open source software. The event aims at:

• Presenting experiences of the use of free and open source data and software for the treatment of geographic information;
• Creating opportunities for discussion and exchange of knowledge between professional users, users of the central and local public administration, developers and producers of geographic data;
• Presenting the developments and the potential of open source projects in a geographical context concerning all areas of interest (cultural heritage, natural and man-made dangers, etc.);
• Presenting the latest geographic software projects and discussing the development prospects of the communities that revolve around them.

Registration for the event is currently available online and free of charge. Please note that the participation to workshops costs 10 euros, discounts apply.
