Conference organizer Chris Loh contacted me about this event. I think many of you will be very interested since geo location aware web applications come up very often in our discussions.

This event is for the whole day. Chris can get 3 guests in for free (need names and organization). So if you are interested to be on the guest list, you can send Chris an email telling him your name, where you work, and that you are a member of this web4roots meetup group. Chris can also offer the heavily discounted student rate to all members of our group.

To be on the guest list for this conference, you can email Chris Loh directly on

There is no formal gathering arranged for members of this group before or after the conference. If many members want gathering before or afterward, we can then arrange.
