Timings & Agenda:

-- Drop In Support Session 10.00 - 12.30

This part of the event is for you if you are new to the world of OS API’s, you’re taking our data under exploration terms or are already an OS partner but you need some help in de-mystifying our licensing. It's for you if knowing a bit more about how our royalty calculators work could help you to put some costings together for your new solution, or you just want to talk about how the partner programme works.

We will be there with our friends from Geovation to offer support on how to sign up to become a partner, talk about the art of the possible with our API’s and chat with a member of our products team to bounce some ideas around and find out what other OS data could work well for you.

Drop in between 10.00 and 12.30 to speak to our team about the topics that interest you.
