Local Information Systems | February workshops
We will be running two FREE one-day UK InstantAtlas LIS workshops in February 2010, a 'North' event and a 'South' event.
They will offer a mix of presentation and open discussion style sessions to ensure delegates can bring issues to the events and they can be addressed. The programme will include examples of leading LIS applications that review lessons learnt and also future challenges. Tom Smith, director of OCSI, will chair a discussion around data issues and application to areas like performance frameworks and strategic assessments. GeoWise staff will present ideas on good practice and the future direction of InstantAtlas technology. We hope the workshops will provide a stimulating environment for existing customers and those interested in LIS applications to share their experiences and help guide the future development of LIS applications.
The workshops are open to any organisations rather than just InstantAtlas customers. Numbers are limited so early booking will ensure we reserve you a place. Please email us (using the email links below) if you would be interested in attending one of the events stating the venue that is most convenient. We will then email you a simple fax back booking form and details on how to get to the venue.
We reserve the option to limit places to three people per organisation unless space is available. We would like to thank Wigan MBC and Hertfordshire CC for their offers to host these events.
