AGI GeoCommunity '10: Conference Programme

08 June 2010, 2:11pm

The AGI GeoCommunity conference committee is very pleased to announce the 2010 conference programme.

A total of 48 papers have been split across 5 streams of content and will be presented over 2 days of conference sessions. In addition there will be 2 Keynote presentations from our Platinum Sponsors, ESRI (UK) and Ordnance Survey, plus 3 Plenary sessions. Add to this a panel session on the AGI Foresight Study, the fantastic Soapbox event and much more, 2010 looks like adding up to another great year of diverse and compelling 'geocontent'.

As in previous years, considerably more papers were received than could be accomodated over the conference period. We sincerely thank all those who submitted proposals this year, commiserate with those authors who didn't make it, and congratulate those who made the final programme.

Based on the content selected for AGI GeoCommunity '10, the paper themes have been dubbed:

* Geospatial Foresight
* The Power of Free
* GeoWeb & the Cloud
* Governance & Management
* Environmental Concerns
* Delivering on Policy
