From June 6th to 9th, 2021, the annual FOSSGIS Conference took place – theoretically in Rapperswil, Switzerland. Unfortunately, due to the pandemic, it was not possible to be on site in Switzerland, so the conference was held online. To anticipate: It worked excellently and was a very good experience. Over 600 participants enjoyed three parallel lecture blocks, a demo session block, and two workshop blocks. The company terrestris actively participated with various lightning talks, lectures, workshops, and as an exhibitor. The usual professional exchange took place this year in the “networking world.” In this virtual world, they were able to meet the exhibitors and exchange ideas via video chat at the booth, at the counter, or other locations.
A big compliment goes to the organization and technical execution of the conference this year!
