Event Details

You are invited to the GeoVation Awards Showcase on 26 January at the Royal Geographical Society, 1 Kensington Gore, Exhibition Road, London SW7 2AR for a chance to see and support the shortlisted GeoVation entrants pitch their ventures to our judges and you, the audience, to win a slice of the £21,000 awards pot.

 

GeoVation, the Ordnance Survey supported initiative that aims to help individuals, businesses and communities bring their map‑based ideas to life has been running the GeoVation Awards Programme since October 2009. Since that time over 300 people have joined, contributing dozens of exciting and innovative geography based ideas.

 

A shortlist of the best entrants has been invited to go head-to-head with £10,000 up for grabs for the outright winner, £5000 for two runners-up and a Community Award of £1000, as voted for by you and fellow members of the audience on the day.

 

A judging panel consisting of some of the brightest lights in the geographic information industry has been assembled, including Steve Coast the founder of crowd-source mapping project, OpenStreetMap; James Alexander, CEO of Green Thing, the online service that encourages people to lead greener lives; James Cutler, CEO of eMapSite and Gary Gale, Director of Geo-Engineering at Yahoo.

 

"Co-creation is a core part of new idea and venture development today.  By making mapping data and information to a wider audience I've no doubt that we'll see some brilliant and innovative creative ideas.  I can't wait to see the finalists" James Alexander co-Founder Zopa.com and CEO Green Thing

 

Places are limited though, so to guarantee your place at the GeoVation Showcase, please register. GeoVation will be donating £10 to Map Action for each registered delegate who attends the showcase.
