PRESS RELEASE: Discounted registration for 1Spatial Conference ends soon!

28th March 2007, Cambridge, UK.  The early registration rate for 1Spatial Conference delegates will end on 1st April.

Booking before this date guarantees your place at this year’s premier spatial data management event for just £149 (full price £199).

The 1Spatial Conference will create a forum for the discussion of the integration of spatial data in enterprise IT architectures and the creation of Spatial Data Infrastructures. It will be a global platform, an industry-leading event and the first of its kind. The conference allies spatial data processing with mainstream IT issues for the first time in a conference event. The timing is important as Europe in particular embark though initiatives such as INSPIRE and strive to expand the use and sharing of spatial data from legacy GIS into open, accessible spatial data infrastructures. The world at large also demands even greater access to mapping across the worldwide web.

Attend the conference and you will:

  • Understand why high spatial data quality is essential for business intelligence
  • Discover how to grow your organisation through repurposing and reusing your data
  • Realise how to achieve, manage and maintain fit for purpose data across your organisation
  • Gain exposure to the latest research in this field
  • Debate key industry issues with other professionals, experts and academics
