Welcome to the first AGI Cymru Blog. AGI Cymru (AGIC) is a regional sub
group of the Association of Geographic
Information that I have been involved with for several years as a
corresponding and attending member. This year I’ve had the pleasure of leading
the group as chair. AGIC is composed of AGI members from public and private
sector organisations who are based in Wales or are conducting their business in
Wales.
We get together every two months to discuss events, plan
activities and take actions in relation to our role which you can read about here. We are a like minded group of
people who are striving to promote location information at every opportunity
and would like to see GI in the mainstream within Wales and beyond. One of the
ways we are doing this is through our strategy document Location Wales which we
are monitoring and promoting.
Each year our work culminates in a Winter conference, which
in 2012 is being held on 4th December at the SWALEC stadium Cardiff. We also have
several social events planned, so keep an eye on our calendar for more details.
Our recent meeting in July was enhanced by a presentation on
laser scanners and there use in BIM’s, as well as our usual social “Beer and
Maps” evening which is becoming an annual North Wales event. A fantastic
informal networking event open to all.
You can expect a number of postings through this Blog
relating to the above strategy document including case studies and news and
views from AGIC members. We always welcome new members, so please get in touch
through our website if you would like to be involved.
