This week the Conference team have been in Stratford-Upon-Avon sorting our the programme for our annual conference which will take place there in September.
It was a long, tiring process. We had to read all of the submitted papers and decide on those which will be accepted. We then drew us a programme by slotting the accepted papers into themed slots. We agreed plenary sessions, workshops, debates etc. And finally we drew everything together in a coherent manner.
I think it has worked very well and I think we have a really strong conference. Details will be released within a few days once speakers have been contacted. Watch this space for the countdown to the conference.
About Me
- Alan
- New Barnet, Herts, United Kingdom
- I am the Chief Operating Officer and also the Head of Finance at the Association for Geographic Information (AGI) in London. I know about Finance. I don't know so much about Geography - I came here from the world of the Arts. But I think it is important that the finance guy in any organisation knows a bit about what that organisation does, and why. I have had no formal education in the world of geography but am developing an interest in the issues facing geographers and the benefits which geography can bring in so many walks of life. I need to learn more about geography and the current issues in GI. This blog will follow my process of education and record my reactions to a wide range of events all relating to geography in its widest sense. I hope visitors will find the blog to be of interest. Be prepared to follow me through my learning curve. It may be a bumpy ride!
