23 April 2008 – Training 4 GIS™, the training and consultancy division of The GeoInformation Group™, announced today that the continued high demand on registrations means that places are now limited.
With less than three weeks before the start of the GeoDATA 2008 – the Road to Change, the organisers recommend that interested parties act quickly to ensure their attendance.
GeoDATA is now in its sixth year and is the only independently organised roadshow event that showcases geographic data and the benefits they bring to those within both the public and private sectors. As a company responsive to change, Training4GIS has evolved the programme content to focus on the business applications and return on investment issues affecting the geographic information industry.
This ever-popular series annually changes locations to accommodate as many GIS professionals as possible, this year the GeoDATA tour will stop in:
London on 13 May 2008,
Manchester on 15 May 2008,
Cardiff on 20 May 2008 and
Glasgow on 22 May 2008.

“Like previous years we are experiencing a high level of interest in GeoDATA, despite sourcing larger venues for the 2008 series a number of the events are getting close to full capacity. Venue space limits the number of free registrations we can accept so we strongly encourage interested parties to book their place as soon as possible. In providing an independent platform for users to communicate with vendors from all aspects of the world of GIS, GeoDATA is an established and popular event in the GI calendar.” comments Fiona Cocks, Training Manager for Training4GIS.
The free to attend 1-day seminars are accredited by The Association of Geographic Information and are worth four CPD points towards the Chartered Geographer (GIS) status. To register go to www.citiesrevealed.com/events/geodata2008
