FAKEMAPS - Very Dishonest

Steven Feldman, Director at KnowWhere Consulting
Talk summary: The coining of new colloquialisms like ‘fake news’ and ‘alternative facts’ prompts a consideration of the power of maps to mislead either intentionally or through a lack of understanding. This presentation will look at the historical development of fake maps as intentional propaganda and contrast those deliberate ‘alternative facts’ with the unintended and deliberate mistakes of modern map makers.

Missing Maps: Putting The World's Vulnerable People On The Map

Steve Penson, Missing Maps
Talk summary: Each year, disasters around the world kill nearly 100,000 and affect or displace 200 million people. Many of the places where these disasters occur are literally 'missing' from any map and first responders lack the information to make valuable decisions regarding relief efforts. Missing Maps is an open, collaborative project in which you can help to map areas where humanitarian organisations are trying to meet the needs of vulnerable people.

Presentations:
The programme for the day is packed with talks that offer exceptional insights into an array of emerging technology and data trends, research and innovation. These include topics such as The Integration of GIS, IT and Cloud, The Power Of Augmented Reality and UAVs In Construction And Mapping.
