WhereCamp Berlin 2016!

We are happy to announce the new edition of WhereCamp Berlin that would take place during the 3rd-4th of November 2016!

The plan for this edition is to move forward to a new format- via an association - and to share the current activities with more actors.

Starting with Stanford WhereCamp in 2012 the event evolved from a pure barcamp via campfire editions to a conference. Also we feel that our community grow at the same time. 

If you’re one of the geo industry players and you would like to be involved in our efforts please contact us at berlin@wherecamp.

Thank you all for being part of WhereCamp Berlin for the 5th time

WhereCamp Berlin 2015 took place on November 26 & 27 in Berlin and brought together industry leaders, experts and map enthusiasts, who shared their vision and exchange ideas as to how maps, navigation and local intelligence are evolving and transforming our everyday lives.

The event was the best occasion for 36 speakers, 189 participants and 9 organizers to meet and share the latest news from the geo industry from all around the world: Broomfield, San Francisco, Lagos, Beijing and from all around Europe.

To shortly describe the experience from this year we can only share what the participants have said: the conference offered great networking opportunities, they’ve seen interesting presentations and it was a rich experience.

The last day was focused on the wearables hackathon organized by komoot, where a few passionate developers showcased some cool wearable apps. At the end of the day 2 of the teams were awarded with 3000 euros offered by Berlin Partner.

Thank you for helping us make WhereCamp Berlin 2015 happen!

WhereCamp is a community geo-event that happens each and every year for the geo community and with its incredible support. We are grateful and impressed of the amazing support received, with a lot of people getting together and joining efforts to make everything happen.  This event could not have happened without them!
