Dear HOT members,

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.

/Join us at the NOMAD workshop on May 15th to 17th, 2013; at the French 
Space Agency (CNES) headquarter in Paris, France! /

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.

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.

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).

experiences with Mobile Data Collection Tools, get in touch, if there is 
enough interest, a session on exchanging experiences can be organized as 
well. The agenda will be published in due course.
