About the Event - WHATS NEW FOR 2010?
Following the success of PetroGIS in 2009, an event focused on the Oil & Gas sector, I am delighted to bring you our 2nd Annual GIS World event, designed to facilitate better interaction, discussion and collaboration amongst you and your peers on the issues that you have asked us to address across all industries. After having researched with our past attendees and over 116 professionals, we have developed this year’s pan-industry programme, which will address these burning issues: lack of geospatial understanding, challenges with executive buy-in, data sharing policies, lack of funding, data maintenance and emergency management. Cutting edge case studies and practical take-away tools! Improve your data quality to ensure the right decisions are made efficiently Increase the interoperability of your systems Examine how you can secure a bigger share of the overall IT budget for your GIS projects Prove the real (quantified) value of a GIS-related investment Discover the future of GIS integration Benchmark your GIS performance against your peers
