18 Month Festival Draws to a Close
Following a hugely successful 18 months the London Mapping Festival now draws to a close. The London Mapping Festival was the concept of Seppe Cassettari, CEO for The GeoInformation Group. It's aim was to bring together the wider mapping community to promote greater awareness and understanding of maps and spatial technologies. The festival to all intents and purposes successfully achieved this aim by spreading the word through a diverse range of mediums from events, poster displays and books to enewsletters, exciting activities and tweets. We are justifiably proud of LMF's collaborative achievements and we hope that along the way you have found it informative, innovative and lots of fun too. More »
