GeoCommunity '08

AGI, the Association for Geographic Information (United Kingdom), has announced that GeoCommunity '08 will take place from the 23rd to 25th September at the Holiday Inn, Stratford Upon Avon.

AGI used feedback from the 2007 conference to shape the formation and content of this year's event. Over 90% of attendees polled at the 2007 conference expressed a preference for the newly introduced format of the UK's largest combined annual conference and exhibition targeted at the geographic information community. The event, which has been the flagship event of the geographic information industry for more than ten years, attracted record numbers of practitioners, academics and policy makers with a world-class conference programme featuring organisations such as ESRI, Google, Pitney Bowes MapInfo and Ordnance Survey.

GeoCommunity '08: Shaping a Changing World, has already attracted support from high profile speakers including Sean Phelan, founder of MultiMap. There will be the usual mix of presentations including thought leaders from the UK and overseas together with practitioners and policy makers from the UK and Europe.
