Every year, AGI judges and presents a set of industry awards. This is just one of the ways in which AGI encourages best practice, innovation and maximum use of geographic information. It is also a great way for our members to get actively involved and be recognised for their efforts and achievements.
Each Award is announced and presented at the Annual Awards Dinner, which takes place this year on Thursday 25th November 2010. The award categories ensure a spread of entries from across central and local government, the private sector, research and education.
