Media Sponsors announced for 1Spatial Conference 2008
11th February 2008, Cambridge, UK. 1Spatial is pleased to announce that Vector 1, GEOconnexion, GeoInformatics and GIS Professional will be participating as media sponsors for their 2008 Conference: ‘1 Source of Truth’, being held from 29th April to 1st May at the Radisson SAS Hotel, Stansted Airport, UK.
With Oracle, Autodesk, Infotech, Blue Marble Geographics, eSpatial and Informatica confirmed as sponsors, the Conference is set to deliver a comprehensive learning package for everyone working with spatial data, from expert Practitioners, through to Programmers and Chief Executive Officers. Focussed discussions, presentations and workshops will assist you in achieving more effective and efficient use of spatial data throughout your organisation, or for any activity involved in integrating spatial data and building Spatial Data Infrastructures (SDI). The support of the media sponsors is very important for delivering the conference messages, both before and after the event.

Maria Pellegrini, Editor of GEOconnexion UK, commented:
“GEOconnexion is proud once again to partner 1Spatial in their 2008 conference. Data is central - without it there would be no GIS! So, being the pan industry communication channel we strongly support collaborative work around the complex issues surrounding geographic data including data quality, volume, technological convergence and INSPIRE and SDI. We would like to wish 1Spatial every success at this event.”
Ruud Groothuis, Publisher of GeoInformatics, commented:
“The 1Spatial Conference is definitely worth attending. It provides full insight into the various applications of managing data and spatial data control. It is a perfect meeting point to meet with many of the top professionals and key-people within the industry, and to exchange ideas, experiences and impressions of one of the most dynamic geo-technologies.”
Stephen Booth, Publisher of GIS Professional, commented:
“We have been attending Spatial’s conferences for nearly a decade and have always found them technically wide-ranging with stimulating, informative and at times provocative presentations”
