#geoplace2018

The leading event for local government address, street information and geographic information experts in Great Britain will take place in the heart of England, Edgbaston Stadium, Birmingham, home to Warwickshire County Cricket Club since 1882.

The theme of the conference is ‘Linking people to places' – and why the UPRN/USRN is important to people who want to understand populations. Linking data to places adds value and gives better insight into an area and its citizens and allocates the provision of more targeted services. Councils across Great Britain rely on information from hundreds of different sources. Adding the UPRN or USRN to datasets such as social care, school admissions, council tax collection, waste management, electoral registration or planning applications can help make deeper sense of data once it's linked together.

This thinking and practical use of the data will be demonstrated at the conference by speakers from local and central government and the health sector.
