This year’s theme..
GeoCom is the AGI’s annual, national conference. Each year we take a closer look at challenges and opportunities in the world around us. It’s an event for members of our own community, but also for people in the sectors and subjects with which we’re working.
This year, GeoCom is all about how we can improve productivity…
We’ll show how Location Intelligence can deliver a more productive UK economy. Here in the UK, we have a geospatial industry that’s second to none ~ and there’s a new generation of Location Intelligence providers whose ambitions know no bounds.
From simple visualisations of ‘what can we find, where?’, to complex data integration, data analytics, and digital twins that have the power to transform business performance, we believe Location Intelligence holds many of the answers to the productivity puzzle.
Speakers…
We’re delighted to introduce a highly experienced and inspiring line-up of speakers who join us from the private sector, central government, academia, think tanks, media and more. Despite their varied backgrounds, our speakers have one thing in common – they are keen to showcase how location intelligence, data and geospatial can be used to understand the UK’s Productivity Puzzle.
Sponsors…
Not only does GeoCom offer the opportunity to hear insights from leading industry professionals, this one day event provides an opportunity to catch up with colleagues, new and old, and find out what our sponsors have been up to in our all-day exhibition. Sponsors are integral to GeoCom – without them the event wouldn’t happen, so be sure to pop by their stands during the tea breaks, lunch and post-event drinks. A huge thank you to this year’s sponsors…
