EFGS 2024 Conference Brdo pri Kranju, Slovenia

We are excited to announce that this year’s conference will take place from 10 to 12 December 2024, at the beautiful venue of Brdo pri Kranju, Slovenia. After the challenges of the past few years, we are delighted to return to an in-person format, providing an excellent opportunity for face-to-face networking, collaboration, and knowledge sharing. The conference is hosted by the Statistical Office of the Republic of Slovenia and the Surveying and Mapping Authority of the Republic of Slovenia.

This year, the conference will feature a combination of strategic content and practical sessions designed to attract high-level decision-makers, implementation managers, and technical experts. Attendees will gain insights into the latest advancements and best practices in the field, hear from leading experts, and participate in discussions that will shape the future of geospatial and statistical data integration.

This year’s conference motto is “Empowering Data for the Future Choices of Europe” Geospatial and statistical integration for sound policy.
