7/ Thank you to all of our speakers, there was a lot to discuss. For the second half the event we moved across the street to a beer hall for discussion 🍻

It was wonderful to see so many of you, Geomob Berlin is thriving.
Thank you sponsors for making it possible!

As the mob grows so to do the costs. We need help finding venues and covering the costs. Please get in touch if you would like to support geo-innovation by becoming a sponsor 🙏

8/ It is not yet clear when (or where) our next Berlin event will be, but we are working on it.
