GeoPlace 2026 marks the 20th year of the GeoPlace conference, a key date in the calendar for people working with addressing data.
This event brings together decision-makers and professionals from local authorities, public sector organisations, and private sector companies specialising in spatial information.
For us, it’s also a chance to reconnect with local authorities we have worked alongside for many years and hear how their priorities are changing.
