MundoGEO#Connect Awards Top 3 most are already known. The awards ceremony will be held on 8th May in Sao Paulo

Trofeus-Connect2013The voting for MundoGEO#Connect Awards 2014 is closed. Now the top 3 of each category are already known. The awards ceremony will be held on May 8, the second day of MundoGEO#Connect LatinAmerica 2014, that will take place at the Frei Caneca Convention Center in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

With open online voting, MundoGEO#Connect Awards are held since 2011, recognizing people, institutions, companies, brands, equipments and systems that contributed to the development of the geospatial industry. The entire process is based on the community voting, from the categories appointment to the winners choice.

Get to know the winners choice stages:

First stage (held in November) The geospatial community chose, through an online survey, the categories for the 2014 awards
Second stage (from December 1 thru February 14) Online poll in which the community may choose who should be the finalists (Top 5) for each category
Third and final stage (from February 17 thru April 18) The geospatial community will choose the winners for each category from a list of the five most voted in the previous stage

“It’s important to have in mind that 100% of the voting is online and made by the geospatial community, from the choice of categories to the five finalists and the winners,” said Emerson Granemann, director and publisher of MundoGEO, organizer of MundoGEO#Connect LatinAmerica Conference and Trade Fair.
