Subject: GIS in the Public Sector - one week to go. Countdown To EU's
INSPIRE

+++GIS in the Public Sector: 14 May 2008, Central London
- One Week To Go
- Countdown To EU's INSPIRE Directive
- Speakers from LGA, IDeA, Defra
http://www.headstar-events.com/gis08/ .

The European Union's INSPIRE  Directive, which paves the way for all
geospatial data to be shared by public bodies across the EU, is set to
come into full force in the UK in May 2009, but the countdown begins
now. The directive is the focus for Headstar's fourth annual conference
and exhibition on Geographical  Information Systems (GIS) in the Public
Sector, supported by the Association for Geographical Information (AGI),
on 14 May 2008 in central London.

Plenary speakers will include representatives from the Local Government
Association; the Improvement and Development Agency (IDeA); and the
Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra).

Our event promises to be essential day for anyone involved in the
collection, management or use of geospatial data, from policymakers
looking at statistics across a region to those charged with putting
user-friendly map content onto a website. Places cost 295 Pounds plus
VAT for public sector and 395 plus VAT for private sector.
