Dear HOT members,<br>
<br>
You're well aware that mobile data technology is changing the way
charities and aid agencies help out people affected by conflict,
hunger and natural disasters, and we want to invite you to a unique
opportunity to learn more about latest development of mobile data
collection.<br>
<br>
<i>Join us at the NOMAD workshop on May 15th to 17th, 2013; at the
French Space Agency (CNES) headquarter in Paris, France! </i><br>
<br>
The event will start by NOMAD’s presentation on the current
challenges of mobile data collection for the humanitarian sector.
Then, Wednesday afternoon will be dedicated to a solution fair where
you will be able to walk around, meet and greet the different
solution providers and gain a first overview of the different tools
presented.<br>
<br>
On Thursday and Friday, mobile data collection solution providers
will conduct hands-on demonstrations in small groups and answer all
your questions. Always wanted to hear more about a specific solution
and test it out before deciding which one might be best for your
organisation and situation? At the end of the workshop, after trying
and testing various data collection tools, we promise that you and
your organization will be able to select and decide on the best tool
for your survey.<br>
<br>
The package of the event also includes a workshop bag with a pen
drive with the event’s information pre-loaded on it, breakfast on
Thursday and Friday, coffee break on Wednesday afternoon, Thursday
and Friday, and a set-price dinner on Thursday evening (beverages
are additional, except water).<br>
