Everything Happens Somewhere

20th October 2010, Cutlers' Hall, Sheffield, S1 1HG

Conference at Cutlers' Hall

The NLPG NSG annual event explores the key issues associated with the use of location based information within the public sector

There have been real developments in this sector over the past decade. Originally, the focus was on an 'Information Society' where information was readily available for re-use by the public and by businesses. The public sector aspiration at that time was to provide publicly collected information and gain better access to services.

So now the focus is back on getting public sector data out into the public domain and into use. The focus is around economic growth, efficiency, innovation, transparency and accountability.

The difference this time is that the debate is really centering on the data infrastructure to do this - core reference datasets and unique referencing. In order that data can be brought together, authoritative data is needed to underpin anything meaningful.

The Conference

Details for the conference are being finalised and will be made available during June.

The conference will start with registration at 9.30 and close with a drinks reception at 4.15.

Cutlers' Hall, the venue for this year's event is in central Sheffield, with easy road and rail links across the country.

We are working closely with Yorkshire South Tourism to provide discount accomodation, rail and tram tickets for delegates, exhibitors and speakers.

Once again, there will be an opportunity for all conference and exhibition attendees to get together on the 19th October, the day before the event.

The Exhibition

Supporting the conference is one of the largest GI focussed exhibitions in the UK, with 25 exhibitors in 2009.

Exhibition and sponsorship opportunities will be released soon.
