GIS Day @ KU

Monday, 25 June, 2007

I have organised an introductory day of events for lower sixth students this week (Friday 29 June), aimed at providing taster practical sessions on GIS, as well as trying to logically link together schools (and subjects), universities (and degree choices) and GIS professionals (and jobs). The day is based around two practical sessions run by my colleagues James O’Brien and Ken Field. This is then followed by a dicussion panel that I am chairing, and we are grateful to the following for giving their time to be at the event:

Dennis Bauszus (Cadcorp)
Dr Ken Field (Kingston University)
Vanessa Lawrence (Ordnance Survey)
Carly Mellin (Met Police)
Debbie Millard (CACI)
Kate Murray (ERM)
James Thompson (ESRI UK)

The day is finishing with a keynote presentation by Vanessa Lawrence, CEO and Director-General of the Ordnance Survey (and a Visiting Professor at Kingston). We are honoured to be able to welcome her to the university. More news on all the events of the day next week.
