About AGI GeoCommunity '11

The AGI is pleased to announce that this year’s AGI Annual Conference - AGI GeoCommunity '11 - will be held in Nottingham on the 20 – 22 September 2011, at the well appointed, centrally located East Midlands Conference Centre.

AGI GeoCommunity is the largest and most comprehensive independent conference in the UK digital mapping and geospatial calendar. The conference provides real insight and leadership in current geographic information and location based issues via a range of keynote addresses and conference papers as well as by hands on training and face to face delegate networking.

AGI GeoCommunity '11 will open on the 21 September and offer two full days of thought leadership, practical education, knowledge transfer and real world best practice and case studies. The popular pre-conference 'Icebreaker'  evening event will be hosted the night before conference opens on the 20 September 2011.

AGI GeoCommunity ‘10 attracted 500 delegates. The residential format, introduced in 2007, is now well established and the event has proven its growth and sustainability. Feedback from last year’s delegates indicated that 98% of those polled thought the event offered value for money and 90% felt it fulfilled their expectations. Over 90% stated that they would probably or definitely attend in 2011 and the same number gave voiced approval for the 2 day/2 day plus Icebreaker format now used.
