  • Opening address

    Sarah Hodgetts, Director, National Data Library and Geospatial Government Digital Service

  • Driving address data interoperability: Implementing UPRN standards within HMRC and across government

    Rob Lee, Chief Data Architect, HMRC

    Rob will explore how effective customer service and public service delivery depend on consistent, reliable data—particularly accurate address information, highlighting the transformative role of the UPRN. UPRNs enable organisations to link datasets, reduce duplication, and improve service targeting—from licensing and housing enforcement to vulnerability mapping. With widespread adoption, UPRNs can drive major savings, efficiency, and smarter decision-making across sectors

  • Staying afloat: The impact of flooding on UK firms 

    Ben Crampton, Senior Data Scientist, Bank of England

    This presentation showcases research conducted at the Bank of England exploring the significant risks and impacts of flooding on businesses in the UK. This research leverages a novel panel dataset comprising address, flood and business records, with AddressBase Premium at its heart. This presentation will walk through the methodology and main findings of this research. It will also discuss some of the tools that can be used to analyse large geospatial data. Finally, it will demonstrate how invaluable UPRNs prove to be for analysis like this and suggests opportunities for further use of UPRN-indexed data at the Bank of England.

  • What if streetworks shows the future of place-based data in the UK?

    Gordon Hector, Director, Upstream

    Streetworks are essential. But they also cost the UK £4bn every year in delays and disruption. Demand for work on the roads is going up, thanks to the need to replace, repair and install infrastructure ranging from gas to EV charging. How can the UK get better at reducing disruption? How could data help prevent and coordinate streetworks? And could new policy tools for local government re-cast the way we manage infrastructure? This talk will look at the latest thinking on streetworks - and explore whether this field might be about to show the way ahead for data-driven infrastructure management.
