More sponsors for AGI GeoCommunity '12

The AGI is delighted to announce a number of new, early sponsors for this year's AGI GeoCommunity Conference.

Ordnance Survey have once again taken Platinum Sponsorship. This is the premier level of support for AGI GeoCommunity and matches Ordnance Survey's contribution to all previous years of the AGI running this event.

Taking Silver Sponsorship packages are Snowflake Software, GGP Systems, UNIGIS and the UK Location Programme. 

"At this early stage in preparing for AGI GeoCommunity '12 it is marvellous to see not only early support from a range of leading suppliers' and initiatives in our sector, but also in all cases these are returning sponsors from previous years. I cannot emphasise the importance of this support enough. It allows the AGI to keep costs down for all delegates and the presence of these sponsors enriches the event considerably. The AGI is extremely grateful for this support and hopes all the sponsors have a productive and rewarding conference", said Chris Holcroft, AGI Director and CEO.

These sponsors now join Esri UK (Platinum Sponsor) and Leica Geosystems (Silver Sponsor).

As before Silver, Gold and Platinum sponsorship options are available. But new for 2012 is a Bronze package especially designed for members of the AGI from the Small Business and Education categories.

Sponsor prices are frozen at 2011 rates and AGI Sponsor and Corporate members can get discounts on Silver, Gold and Platinum options.

In 2011, nine out of 10 sponsors said that sponsoring AGI GeoCommunity was "good value" or "very much so".
