The Baltic Geospatial Information Technology Conference (BGITC) is a unique cooperation among Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania in order to organise a regional industry event that fosters cross-border collaboration in the field of geospatial information technology (GIT). Apart from exchanging experiences to expand knowledge and innovation, as well as exploring market growth opportunities, the goal is to build a common view and vision for the development of GIT industry in the Baltics region.

500+ participants from all around Europe will attend the BGITC. It is the largest GIT industry event in the region attracting spatial developers, users, policy makers, and industry organisations.

The conference is organized by the representatives from each Baltic state - the Estonian Geoinformatics Society, the Latvia's GIS Association, and the Lithuanian Cartographic Society - jointly with SotM Baltics 2020 in cooperation with our conference partners.

The BGITC event offers a free entrance to anyone who is interested in GIT - be it students or researchers from universities, representatives from corporations, government organisations, and municipalities, entrepreneurs, etc - and has registered for the conference.

Throughout the day, you will have an opportunity to:

•      ● tune in to speakers - both local and international - at any of the several parallel sessions
•      ● meet and exchange ideas with GIT advocates, professionals and enthusiasts
•      ● engage in workshops led by the conference speakers and other experts

Although the conference is free of charge, number of participants is limited. Therefore, we advise to register as soon as possible, in order to secure your attendance.

State of the Map Baltics 2020 has joined Baltic Geospatial Information Technology Conference 2020 and that means that there will be a separate track dedicated to OpenStreetMap (OSM) talks at the Conference. Basically, OSM is a collaborative project to create a free worldwide map that anyone can edit, however, the porpose is to provide open map data for anyone and anything. To name a few, mobile applications like maps.me and OsmAnd, PokemonGO and Minecraft Earth, as well as Tesla, Wikipedia, Facebook, Geocaching use OSM data.

Join the OpenStreetMap community at the SotM Baltics 2020 to discuss everything OSM with the fellow mapping enthusiasts - learn how to use OSM in your website or application, how to update information about your stores or any other business or how to simply map that nearby convenience store or pub.

Sign up to speak at the conference, if you are ready to share your GIT experience on trends, problems and solutions, analysis of the status quo, implementation strategies, infrastructure,standards and interoperability, etc.

Here are some ideas on topics in relation to GIT: IoT, indoor mapping, machine learning, drones, data collection and sharing, manipulation and visualization of geospatial data,implementations in strategic application domains (land management, disaster response,smart cities, population mapping, climate change, marine monitoring etc.), sensors, remote sensing, laser-scanning, structure from motion, spatial data infrastructure, etc.
