9/ Lots to discuss, which is thirsty work, so we headed to the pub. It was a very rainy evening so we all jammed inside, unfortunately no group photo this time.

8/ With the talks over it was time to vote for the best speaker!

Each talk had its merits, but the winner of the coveted SplashMap best speaker prize was ... Dustin.

Congrats! 👏👏👏

Dustin Carlino speaking at Geomob London

7/ Last but not least was Dustin Carlino, discussing the challenges of using #OpenStreetMap for pedestrian walking, specifically in cases of busy, uncrossable roads. We need correct tagging of crossings for more accurate real-life routing and planning.

6/ Next up we heard from Christine Langston about her research on housing construction and climate risk. The unfortunate conclusion is that policy seems to be disproportionally encouraging the construction of housing in high-risk areas 😟

#geomobLON

Nigel Edmead speaking at Geomob London

5/ An introduction to the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) and the important work they do in providing a forum for collaborative geospatial standard setting was the topic of Nigel Edmead's talk.
