Hi all, In planning our bid for the '09 conf, the Aust-NZ chapter (in formation) is looking at how we can maximise the value of the conf to Govt attendees. In talking to govt people here in Aust, and following comments on this list in the past, it seems govt people have a harder time than necessary getting to the conf. I'd like suggestions as to how we can maximise the value proposition for govt attendance at future conf's.
One of the ideas we are looking at is having a Govt only panel session during the conf that looks at issues typically faced by govt bodies implementing GeoFOSS solutions and enabling sharing of experiences and expertise. One of the things we want to help avoid, is the view that the conf is nothing more than a junket for govt employees, at least as far as senior management is concerned. Thoughts anyone?
