AGI Greater Manchester Network Event

Engaging and building a strong and inclusive GI community within Greater Manchester and neighbouring areas

AGI Greater Manchester Networking Event

The AGI Greater Manchester Network is delighted to invite you to our upcoming event, The Open Data Revolution.

Join us on the 2 July at the University of Manchester for an insightful afternoon exploring how open data is reshaping the GIS landscape and driving innovation across the geospatial sector.

This free, in-person networking event will bring together professionals from across Greater Manchester. Together, we’ll share ideas, make connections, and dive into key themes highlighted in the AGI Foresight Report.

You’ll discover how open data is transforming the way spatial information is shared, integrated, and applied—and what this means for the future of geospatial intelligence. We are pleased to feature confirmed speakers from Bluesky International, the Office for National Statistics, and the University of Manchester.

This event is free to attend, but spaces are limited so be sure to register early to secure your place.
