The Association for Geographic Information (AGI), in collaboration with Ordnance Survey, is proud to announce the official launch of the AGI South Coast Network. This premier inaugural event, hosted at the iconic Explorer House in Southampton, serves as a vital gathering point for the geospatial community across the South Coast of the UK. Under the central theme "Data in the World of Geospatial: The Next Transformation," this event addresses the explosive growth in the volume and variety of location data. As we move into 2026, the industry faces a pivotal shift from simply managing interoperable data to generating actionable insights. This session is specifically curated based on the AGI Foresight Report, exploring how professionals can capture, manage, and extract tangible value from evolving data streams. Attendees will have the unique opportunity to engage with experts from Ordnance Survey and the wider AGI network. The program includes deep-dive discussions on the challenges of data provenance, the role of AI in spatial analysis, and the future of national infrastructure. Beyond the technical presentations, the event features an extensive networking segment sponsored by Ordnance Survey. This allows practitioners, decision-makers, and innovators to connect in an environment designed for collaboration. Whether you are interested in urban planning, environmental monitoring, or the latest in "agentic AI" and its impact on mapping, this event provides the essential context for the next decade of geospatial innovation.
