Join us for the first face-to-face Maptime Amsterdam meet-up since 2019!

Maptime is, rather literally, time for mapmaking. Our mission is to open the doors of cartographic possibility to anyone interested by creating a time and space for collaborative learning, exploration, and map creation using mapping tools and technologies.

Hosted by Marjan Van de Kauter & Salim Baidoun (OpenStreetMap community engagers at TomTom) and Shravan Shah (Director at TM Systems).

We will treat you to drinks, snacks and various talks about mapmaking.

Please register by September 4th end of day.

**Stéphane De Greef – Mapping a city with street-level imagery**

Stéphane will share how to “street-view” extensive urban areas with an off-the-shelf 360° camera, a smartphone and a bicycle, to enhance open knowledge and participatory mapping. His talk will be a pragmatic field guide describing the gear, planning process and field work.

Stéphane is a 46-year-old Belgian environmental engineer who worked all over the world for more than 20 years on a wide range of data, mapping and research projects, from the minefields of Cambodia to the jungles of Panama, the Himalayas and the Sahara Desert. He’s an OSM Belgium member and contributor, very active in cycling advocacy in Brussels, and, surprisingly enough, currently unemployed but looking into capitalising on his latest project imaging the whole region of Brussels and seeing how this could be used in a humanitarian context.
