Sigma Seven are pleased to announce their sponsorship of the annual conference of the Association for Geographic Information (AGI).
Taking place in Stratford-Upon-Avon, UK, 24-25 September, the AGI Conference and Exhibition are key dates in the calendar of the British GI industry and have been the flagship events of the AGI for more than a decade.
The theme of this year’s conference is ‘Shaping a Changing World’ and will address how the GeoCommunity works in a global environment of change, challenge and transformation.
As corporate members of the AGI who have taken an active part in previous AGI events, Sigma Seven are proud to continue to support the important work of the organisation.
Sponsorship of the AGI conference reflects Sigma Seven’s own strong belief in the mission of the AGI which is ‘to maximise the use of geographic information (GI) for the benefit of the citizen, good governance and commerce.’
Sigma Seven was formed in 2000 by a group of mapping, data management and GIS professionals from leading IT Service and Utilities companies. Recognising the growing demand for flexible and affordable mobile map-based solutions in all organisations with field workers, the company has developed the GeoField product suite. Sigma Seven has helped some of the largest utility companies in the UK to take mapping out of the office and into the front line.

Each month we select a hot topic and a leading figure in the industry to write about it.HAVE WE REALLY LEARNT THE LESSONS FROM LAST YEAR’S FLOODS?
Flooding costs associated with extreme weather, both financial and emotional, have increased considerably over the last decade, and experts have predicted this trend is set to continue.
Paul Livett, Chairman of GroundSure looks into how increasing the use of flood risk information in property transactions can help to ensure both residential and commercial transactions are conducted on a truly informed basis, with buyers being made aware of environmental risks prior to purchase.
Over 2.2 million homes and small businesses in the UK are located in areas considered at risk of flooding, and the Association of British Insurers (ABI) has said that 570,000 of these face a high risk of flooding. The floods in June and July last year left approximately 48,000 households… More…
