AGI Conference 2007 - preview

'Building a Geo Community'

The AGI conference starts on Wednesday in Stratford-upon-Avon. Bookings have gone amazingly well and the conference was fully booked a couple of weeks ago.

The AGI team, especially Claire, Susan and Maureen, have been working exceptionally hard on the administration. Now we move to the conference itself. We all head up for Stratford tomorrow to finalise the last-minute details ahead to the opening session on Wednesday morning.

It is always a bit scary a couple of days before the conference, but I am sure it will be a great success.

I have, much to my surprise, been asked to be on the judging panel for the 'Best Paper' award. I am honoured by that and will do my best to be fair and impartial and to give each paper an equal opportunity.

So, here's to a wonderful conference.
