OpenStreetMap & GIS for All

NORWICH - Thursday, April 17, 2014

6:00 PM

Speakers:

Steven Eglinton
Director, GeoEnable & Association for Geographic Information (AGI)
Chair, AGI East of England

In this presentation I will examine how Web Mapping and Location-Based Services (LBS), as a technology are very rapidly becoming a mainstream concept in IT and GIS information management. And used on a daily basis via smartphone to manage people's lives.

With examples, what one thought of as specialised tools, such as GIS, are now being ‘democratised’ and embedded in easy-to-use business processes and workflows.

With examples of how this could benefit both business and the general public, I will examine the main and most important trends in, ‘Geospatial’ and Location Analytics that affect anyone involved in spatial analysis or GIS - and beyond. These trends really are ‘game changers’ compared with the last 35 years of GIS and Location Technologies and need to be understood to leverage the potential
