We are preparing our agenda for this year's GeOnG. As usual, we have various formats for the sessions: plenary sessions, panels of experts divided into specific topics and workshops.
You can now book the workshops you'd like to attend filing this form - but don't forget to get your tickets first! The workshop registration also allows you to book some face-to-face time with a staff from CartONG if you have questions.
If you can't make it to the conference, we will record the panel sessions and publish them later on our website.
