MundoGEO, the leader in Latin America in media and communication for the geospatial and location industries, promoted a Geospatial Week (http://mundogeo.com/webinar/_mail/semana2013/) from September 9 thru 13. Five webinars were conducted in partnership with geospatial companies and institutions, gathering 7,125 registrants from 37 countries around the world, mostly in Latin America.
“The number of registrants and attendees in the Geospatial Week exceeded our expectations, consolidating it as the greatest virtual meeting for the Latin American geospatial community”, says Eduardo Freitas, coordinator of MundoGEO webinars. “It was not just the amount of people that surprised us, but also the high quality of the content presented in all speeches and also the questions and comments made by the attendees” he concludes.
During all of the webinars, the participants could learn about new geospatial technologies and also post comments and questions directly to the speakers. Check out the highlights of each webinar:
