Provides a focus for the GI community We provide many event networking opportunities for our members, which encourage debate and forward thinking for the benefit of the whole community.
Promotes the value and benefit of GI We work hard to ensure that the AGI's voice extends beyond the gi industry, as the considerable pace of technological advancements enables everyone to do more with their data.
Represents the GI community to policy makers Infuencing policy is a key driver for the AGI, given the reach that geographical information has on all our lives. Thus we are continually forging new senior relationships which aid our mission.
Keeps an eye on emerging markets Our annual Big5 series of events focus on the key trends for gi professionals across all markets, ensuring cross fertilisation of ideas and new business opportunities for our partner members.
Encourages best practice and innovation The AGI's Annual Awards reflect the importance we place on current best practice and innovative uses of geographical information across all sectors, be they commercial or public.
Promotes training, education and CPD We actively encourage our student members and indeed all our members to continue learning and exchanging their expertise with each other about all things geospatial.

Speakers from the Geospatial Commission and Ordnance Survey joined us today, to talk about the proposals made to date for opening up OS MasterMap.
Abigail Page, AGI Chair, presented the session. As it was an open session, for non-members too, we included a short piece explaining who we are and what our aim is - helping to promote the use of geospatial information in as many ways as possible. Then we handed over to Chris Chambers, an AGI Council member and Geospatial Lead at OS; plus Catherine McGrath and Jamie Clark on behalf of the Geospatial Commission.
