Join us for an Open Mapping Happy Hour at the Open Government Partnership Summit in Mexico City on Wednesday October 28th from 7PM onwards.
The Open Government Partnership Summit is about to kick off with 66 signatory countries of the partnership and civil society meeting to discuss their vision and goals for more transparent and accountable government. Open mapping will be a huge topic with five scheduled sessions.
At the end of the first main conference day we’ll host a happy hour together with friends in the open mapping space to talk maps and open data. We will raise a drink to citizens, governments and businesses collaboratively mapping the world. Join and meet open mappers with OpenStreetMap, OpenAddresses and countless government open data initiatives and discuss the many mapping related sessions taking place throughout the OGP Summit.
