"GEOconnexion is proud once again to partner 1Spatial in their 2008 conference. Data is central - without it there would be no GIS!  So, being the pan industry communication channel we strongly support collaborative work around the complex issues surrounding geographic data including data quality, volume, technological convergence and INSPIRE and SDI.  We would like to wish 1Spatial every success at this event."
