A panel discussion, with audience engagement, to explore and discuss how 3D geospatial demonstrates value and measurable return on investment across multiple sectors and applications. Hosted by the Association for Geographic Information, the membership group for organisations and individuals working in the geospatial sector, with input from suppliers and end users. The panel will include Ralph Coleman, Chief Commercial Officer of Bluesky International and Andrew Coote, Director of ConsultingWhere. It will also feature real world practitioners and experienced users of 3D geospatial, Laura Pullen, GIS Business Development Manager at Nottingham City Council, and Robert Goldsmith, Geospatial Manager at Devon and Cornwall Police. It will be chaired by Fergus Craig, Chair of the AGI and a member of the Association’s newly launched 3D Network.
Engaging with the audience, the panel will explore the 3D geospatial landscape: Its evolution, current presentation, and potential future. The audience will hear from those at the cutting edge of capturing, creating, storing, and disseminating 3D geospatial data, and also from those who are using this valuable resource on a daily basis to help inform decision making and communicate outcomes.
The session will present and validate published ROI figures of 2:1 within the local authority planning process and will, it is hoped, inspire the audience to evaluate their own current and prospective use of 3D geospatial data.
