“In 2013 edition we received many suggestions from the community and then we canceled some categories and created other ones, such as ‘Best Facebook Page’, for example,” said Eduardo Freitas, technical coordinator of MundoGEO#Connect LatinAmerica 2013. “From there we invite everyone to vote in the five finalists, so we got the results that will be unveiled on June 19, after Brazil and Mexico soccer game. Certainly it will be a day of celebration for the geospatial community.”
“This year we had a significant number of international votes in ‘the most memorable global brands’ category, resulting in Argentina and Mexico among the Top, which compete with Brazil in the ‘Best SDI Initiative in Latin America’ category,” said Emerson Granemann, CEO of MundoGEO#Connect LatinAmerica.
