Hosted by Geovation Scotland
Geovation Scotland's October community lunch at Meadowbank House, for the geospatial and location-technology community.
It is a free lunchtime session from 13:00 — the Packed Lunch series is informal, with the community rather than a speaker list as the draw. One practical note worth reading before you book: Meadowbank House is a Scottish Government building and attendees are signed in as visitors, so bring photographic ID (passport, driving licence or government-issued ID) for security on the day. Anyone who already holds building access does not need to be booked in.
Scotland's geospatial sector is small, well-connected and unusually open, and Geovation is the hub the whole of it passes through — one lunch gets you most of the network. Best for anyone working with location data, mapping, Earth observation or planning tech, and founders looking for Ordnance Survey-adjacent routes to market.
