Make the case to attend
Download this brochure to help you make the case to come to the GeoPlace conference
The GeoPlace conference is the UK’s leading event for officers working with address and street data and Ordnance Survey data products. It provides a focused opportunity to build the skills, knowledge and networks needed to maximise the value of spatial data across local authority services.
Attendance represents a targeted, low-cost investment that delivers measurable returns through improved efficiency, better decision-making, and enhanced service delivery.
At the conference, we focus on skills, professionalism and CPD – and both the Royal Geographic Society (RGS) Association for Geographic Information (AGI) have accredited the conference with 5 CPD points.
We’ve put together a document to help you make the business case for attending the conference. It clearly demonstrates how investing in skills, data, and service improvement can deliver real benefits for your authority—helping you make the case to attend with confidence. We hope that you find it helpful.

Knowledge Partners

Support
GeoPlace support sessions will take place throughout the day in the exhibition room. The team is available for with 1-2-1 and advice, with some slots available for pre-booking. They’ll also run roundtable sessions training and data linking.
Data clinic
The GeoPlace Insights team will also be on hand to demo work around Traffic Sensitive Streets and Public Rights of Way, as well as our work on linked data. We have matched a number of national datasets to UPRNs that are available to local authorities free of charge, to help in your own analysis and as a source of further intelligence for Custodians.
Street Naming & Numbering Officer Network
Meet with the team to discuss the Street Naming and Numbering Code of Practice. The Code is designed to provide guidance and support for SNN Officers when doing their day-to-day job. We’ll be demonstrating examples of our forthcoming scenarios, which provide specific guidance when managing real world challenging housing and property developments that require new street names and property numbers.

A recent article in UKAuthority outlines how GeoPlace works with authorities to cut congestion on the roads. The team will be on-hand to discuss additional services that we can offer to authorities such as:
- Lane Rental Scheme Implementation
- Permit Scheme Reviews
- Traffic Sensitive Reviews
- Reinstatement Reviews
- Additional Street Data Reviews
- Network Reviews
What’s your ROI?
Do you need to defend your expenditure on maintaining your local address and street gazetteers? GeoPlace has recently worked with specialist management advisors ConsultingWhere, to make a national assessment of the Return on Investment of the address and street data to local authorities.
With this experience ConsultingWhere are now able to offer a cost-effective Return on Investment service to individual local authorities. Each report provides a customised assessment of economic value and PowerPoint presentation on the value of the land and property gazetteer to your local authority.
The report will look at the specific priorities of your council, the efficiency gains already realised as well as what might be achieved going forward. It will be presented in the language and format designed to engage senior decision makers.
The team from ConsultingWhere will be on hand to discuss your specific needs in this area.
