Don’t miss: The Interoperability Focus-Day on 21st July!

This day will run before the main conference, covering those interoperability issues that you highlighted to us as being the most important to government in detail.

These include:

1. Find out about current initiatives and adoption of universal standards
2. Analyse the current advances and limitations of the data licensing regime
3. Learn from a series of case studies on spatial interoperability strategies in Australia and New Zealand
4. Interact with leading minds during the interoperability panel discussion
5. Discuss methods and strategies to maximise the availability of data to your department or agency

The day will be an excellent and detailed introduction that will set the tone for the rest of the summit.

Speaker’s Biographies

Who needs to attend SEGS ‘08?

SEGS ’08 has been developed for geospatial and GIS specialists from Federal, State, Territory and Local Government

SEGS ’08 will:

1. Let you meet and interact with peers and key stakeholders in other government departments and agencies working with geospatial data
2. Learn from a host of national and international case studies being implemented across a broad range of government departments.
3. Be filled with case studies so you can find out what is being planned and already underway in the Australian and international public sector.

Going out to tender in 2008/2009?
