"Dear Colleague,
The 1Spatial Conference 2008, being held at the Radisson SAS Hotel, Stansted, UK, aims to be the year’s premier event focused on the transformation, integration and quality control of spatial data. Based around the theme ‘1 Source of Truth’ the conference will highlight the topics of Spatial Data Integration, Spatial Data Quality, Spatial Data Infrastructures and CAD to GIS convergence.
Specifically the conference will:
Explore the issues of spatial data integration and re-purposing across organisations e.g. EU Directive on the Re-use of Public Sector Information
Address the growing phenomenon of CAD and GIS convergence and the data management issues this presents
Discuss effective data access and sharing across the spatial data supply chain
Stimulate debate for delegates involved in establishing Spatial Data Infrastructures, such as preparing for INSPIRE implementation
Provide a forum for special interest groups across the Spatial Data Industry to meet and debate focused issues
Present delegates with an insight into all aspects of spatial data management and current best practices, including updates on issues such as Open Source and the work of the Open Geospatial Consrotium (OGC)

Workshops
The 1Spatial Conference 2008 provides a unique learning environment as it plays host to the DNF Expert Group Meeting, Data Health Check Lab, HP Usability Lab and a free Metadata Seminar explaining the requirements of the INSPIRE directive; how it could be implemented and the Implementing Rules for Metadata.
INSPIRE Workshop: 'Meeting the INSPIRE requirement for Metadata'
Hosted by Robin Waters, Chair of the AGI Working Group for INSPIRE, this free seminar will provide a comprehensive introduction to INSPIRE (Infrastructure for Spatial Information in Europe), covering the potential business impact of INSPIRE on stakeholders. Rob Walker, Independent Consultant and also a Member of AGI Working Group on INSPIRE, will run a workshop highlighting the Implementing Rules for metadata and how metadata can be addressed by organisations actively considering their actions around INSPIRE.
HP Usability Labs
1Spatial is pleased to announce a new, exciting initiative for this year’s Conference. The HP-sponsored Usability Lab provides you with the chance to explore and discover more about state-of-the-art software in a hands-on environment. You will be able to trial and give feedback, in a non-sales environment, on software packages from a variety of 1Spatial Partners in your own time.
Data Health Check Lab
Hosted by Salford GIS, the leading Radius Studio Practitioner in the UK, this workshop provides you with the chance to bring your own sample spatial data to the Conference. It can then be subjected to a series of standard tests to examine its overall quality from both a geometric, and logical consistency standpoint. Delegates will be encouraged to run tests themselves and will receive a report detailing the results.
DNF Expert Group MeetingThe will be a short DNF Expert Group meeting. Details will be sent out to members in due course.
Golf
The 1Spatial Golf Masters will take place at Blakes Golf Club, Epping on 29th April 2008. This is a chance to relax and network with fellow delegates and 1Spatial staff before the conference at a Championship 18 hole inland links course that is rapidly maturing into one of the top courses in the area. After the Golf participants will be able to unwind in Blakes state-of-the-art clubhouse with refreshments.
