Dear HOT members,
You're well aware that mobile data technology is changing the way
charities and aid agencies help out people affected by conflict, hunger
and natural disasters, and we want to invite you to a unique opportunity
to learn more about latest development of mobile data collection.
/Join us at the NOMAD workshop on May 15th to 17th, 2013; at the French
Space Agency (CNES) headquarter in Paris, France! /
The event will start by NOMAD's presentation on the current challenges
of mobile data collection for the humanitarian sector. Then, Wednesday
afternoon will be dedicated to a solution fair where you will be able to
walk around, meet and greet the different solution providers and gain a
first overview of the different tools presented.
On Thursday and Friday, mobile data collection solution providers will
conduct hands-on demonstrations in small groups and answer all your
questions. Always wanted to hear more about a specific solution and test
it out before deciding which one might be best for your organisation and
situation? At the end of the workshop, after trying and testing various
data collection tools, we promise that you and your organization will be
able to select and decide on the best tool for your survey.
The package of the event also includes a workshop bag with a pen drive
with the event's information pre-loaded on it, breakfast on Thursday and
Friday, coffee break on Wednesday afternoon, Thursday and Friday, and a
set-price dinner on Thursday evening (beverages are additional, except
water).

The prices are listed on the webpage as well. The spaces are limited,

workshop, please contact me (m_nobleco...@cartong.org). And feel free to

If your organization would like to give a short presentation on your
experiences with Mobile Data Collection Tools, get in touch, if there is
enough interest, a session on exchanging experiences can be organized as
well. The agenda will be published in due course.
/We all at NOMAD look forward to seeing you at the Paris workshop in May
for a stimulating series of productive and collaborative discussions./
