Great news! The joint Geospatial Commission/Ordnance Survey (OS) PSGA one-day member conferences are back!

Join us and your public sector community at one of their regional events and find out about the benefits of unlimited access to location data for Public Sector Geospatial Agreement (PSGA) members.

Through presentations and interactive workshops, you’ll hear about new OS data, the benefits of using the OS National Geographic Database (did you know that we were part of the project?) and how to get started.

PSGA conference schedule

As befitting an event co-hosted by GB’s national mapping agency, the events will be held at some great locations. We hope you’ll join us at one of the following: 

5th November: look out for us at Edinburgh’s planetarium, Dynamic Earth.

We’ll have a short break to host our own User Group in Birmingham on the 8th of November (you’re welcome to join us).

14th November: join us at the Radisson Hotel in York (note: this is the first day of York’s popular Christmas Market).

26th November: head to London to meet up with us at the Leonardo Royal, situated next to St Paul’s.

3rd December: be bowled over by our stand at Sophia Gardens in Cardiff, home to Glamorgan County Cricket Club.
