The OGC Regional Standards & Interoperability Forum is an essential gathering for geospatial professionals, researchers, and policy-makers dedicated to the advancement of open standards. Hosted in the heart of Nottingham, this event serves as a critical touchpoint for the UK geospatial community to discuss the implementation of Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) standards in local and national projects.
As data becomes the backbone of modern infrastructure, the need for seamless interoperability has never been greater. This forum provides a deep dive into how OGC standards—such as OGC API - Features, 3D Portrayal, and SensorThings—are being utilized to solve complex spatial challenges. The program features a blend of technical workshops, strategic overviews, and networking opportunities designed to bridge the gap between theoretical standards and practical application.
Attendees will explore the latest developments from OGC’s global initiatives, including updates on "OGC APIs," which represent a multi-year effort to modernize the geospatial standards ecosystem for the web. Case studies will be presented by industry leaders and academic experts from the University of Nottingham’s renowned geospatial department, highlighting innovations in smart cities, environmental monitoring, and digital twins.
Whether you are a developer looking to implement the latest APIs, a researcher pushing the boundaries of spatial data science, or a business leader aiming to optimize data sharing protocols, this forum offers the insights needed to stay at the forefront of the industry. The event emphasizes collaborative problem-solving, with dedicated "Birds of a Feather" sessions where participants can discuss specific regional challenges and influence the future direction of OGC standards.
Join us in Nottingham to connect with a vibrant community of experts, learn from real-world implementations, and contribute to the evolution of a location-enabled world.
