AGI GeoCommunity is the largest and most comprehensive independent conference in the UK geospatial calendar. The conference provides tangible insight and leadership in current geographic information and location based issues via a range of keynote addresses and conference papers as well as by hands on training, meeting with leading industry suppliers and face to face delegate networking. AGI GeoCommunity '12 will run from 18 - 20 September 2012 in Nottingham.
With a return to East Midlands Conference Centre I was seeking to maintain some consistency with last year's main graphic but also introduce new aspects to emphasise the 'sharing' and 'place' elements.
The very colourful stick-men (the Mr Men) attempt to give a sense of diversity of backgrounds and interests clustering on the site of the conference centre for this year's AGI geo-fest.
Last year we used imagery and small scale mapping and this year is the same, but from different sources and with a different orientation.
How can AGI GeoCommunity '12 be as good as it could be if we don't have your paper and you presenting (fawn)?
The AGI Call for Papers is out along with ideas for submission. All we need we need from you is a short abstract and your details for consideration. All is completed on-line and you can get all the details here:
Each year AGI GeoCommunity is organised by a committee (or working group) which works closely with the AGI staff. The conference really is an event created by members of the geocommunity for their peers. I'm pleased to say that once again we have a great mix of people involved from a diverse range of backgrounds. These are:
Jermiane Hutchinson - Environment Agency
Simon Agass - Welsh Assembly Government
Nick Austin - LOCOG
Will White - Esri UK
Peter Yard - Pitney Bowes Business Insight
Mark Percival - Individual member
Jeremy Morley - University of Nottingham
Andrew Newman - Defra
Emma Bee - BGS
It is Jeremy Morley's second year as conference chair, the lucky chap!
