For our eighth GeoBeer, we met in Zürich, the birth town of our event series. Ernst Basler + Partner and Crosswind were the sponsors and about 80 registered geo enthusiasts showed up.

This time, we had four lightning talks, which were held in two parallel sessions and we were very strict on the 5 minutes. Mathias Ulmer of @validjoin fame helped us with an A-class saxophone intermezzo in between the talks.

The topics of the talks:

• “Maps in Business Intelligence - Dashboards reloaded”, @tbruehlm, @ch_kiefer
• “Highspeed-Raster - Compression without loss”, Luzius Ammann
• “Styling vector layers was never so easy!”, @vasile23
• “State of the Union: Data as Enabling Tech?!”, @rastrau
  
  • Attention: An extended version of Ralph’s talk is also available as a blog post and worth a read!

We thank all the presenters for the talks.
