Nordic webinar on geodemographics
GI Norden welcomes you to a webinar on the Nordic use of demographics in a geographical context.
Due to different time zones the webinar starts in Iceland at 12:00 PM (GMT), in Sweden, Denmark, and Norway at 1:00 PM (GMT+1), and in Finland at 2:00 PM (GMT+2).
GI Norden arranges the free webinar with speakers from most of the Nordic countries. GI Norden is a Nordic network within geodata and GIS.
Join us for a webinar where we explore how mapping of demographics is employed across the Nordic countries.
During the webinar, you’ll discover real-world examples of how geodemographics is being applied in innovative ways by public sector organizations, private companies, and universities. Learn how these technologies are transforming the way we plan, design, and manage our urban environments.
Don’t miss this opportunity to strengthen your understanding of geodemographics – and get examples from the Nordic countries.
