17th May 2007, Cambridge, UK. The 1Spatial Conference 2007 has been hailed as a great success by delegates and the wider industry alike.
“Many thanks for all your help in Southampton. It really was a great meeting. I would say the pre-eminent geospatial event in the UK and one of the top events across Europe.” – Geoff Zeiss, Director of Technology Enterprise Solutions, Infrastructure Solutions Division, Autodesk
The importance of spatial data quality is increasingly being debated in mainstream IT. 1Spatial, a strong advocate of this concept for many years, reflected this growing interest by basing its conference around the theme of ‘Fit for Purpose’ with emphasis on the discussion of Spatial Data Infrastructures (SDI’s).
From the outset the conference generated much interest, selling out before the event began and attracting worldwide delegates from all market sectors, and many from outside the traditional GIS field. High profile presentations from Google, Oracle, CH2M HILL and Informatica served to remind delegates that assured spatial data quality is now recognised as essential within mainstream businesses, and is not just a departmental GIS issue.
As well as receiving valuable information on the latest spatial data strategies, delegates were entertained with a pre-conference Golf Tournament, a three-course dinner at Southampton Football Club’s Saint Mary’s stadium, and an inspirational after-dinner speech by England’s Rugby Captain Phil Vickery.
“The 1Spatial Conference brings together key individuals and companies who are at the forefront of spatial data quality issues within the industry. This conference addressed the issue of ‘Fit for Purpose’ which resulted in robust discussions about spatial data quality, reuseability and enterprise processes integral to economic success.” – Jeff Thurston, Editor, V1 Magazine
