dd:London presents "The Changing Landscape of Cartography"
Event Information
Description
In our March event, we're delving into the world of digital map making and geospacial design. With so much geospacial data at our finger tips, the possibilities of what can be created in this space are vast and exciting. From city planning, to delivery and logistics and even gaming, the landscape is rife for disruption. We'll be meeting some of the companies looking to re-draw the boundaries (lols)
