There’s still time to register for GeoCymru ‘Geospatial Solutions for the Built Environment’ on October 9th at Sophia Gardens, Cardiff.
David Roberts, co-chair of AGI Cymru says ‘the conference this year is more affordable than ever, but don’t let this fool you. You will get the opportunity to hear great presentations, discuss and network with the geo-community in Wales’
The agenda will feature keynote presentations from Professor Scott Orford of Cardiff University who will talk about the Public Map Platform, that uses open mapping processes to enable communities to show what’s important to them and have a voice in planning their places.
Gayle Lister, of Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority, will present a second keynote looking at planning for the conservation and enhancement of dark skies in Wales.
Also on the agenda are:
• Nicolas Kinsella of Ulster University who will explore how methane super-emitters are being tracked from space for a cleaner energy sector
• Richard Flemmings of Map Impact, who will present on climate risks in the built environment
• Joe Hillard of the National Trust describing his work with the HART (heritage and Archaeology Ranger Team) Programme
• James Wardroper of Ordnance Survey will reveal the work to date creating and implementing the National Underground Asset Register (NUAR)
• Hannah Brooks of GeoPlace will explore policy principles to support the effective use of address data
Additional presentations will be given by event sponsors Esri UK, CGI, Europa Technologies, GeoPlace and Astun Technology, and AGI Cymru would also like to thank Avineon Tensing and Bluesky International for their support.
Registration for this event closes midnight Wednesday 1 October 2025.
