> While the concept of geospatial mash-ups is increasingly being  
> discussed
> and explored, its potential is not widely understood. UK Geospatial
> Mash-Up will bring together experts driving innovation to examine and
> explore how the approach could be more widely applied across the GI
> industry.

> Graham Vowles, Principle Data Consultant from Ordnance Survey’s
> Corporate Geospatial Data Team explains the importance of embracing  
> and
> evolving mash-up technology: “Geospatial mash-ups have captured the
> imagination of a wide cross-section of society, from technical experts
> to members of the community enjoying the functionality they can  
> deliver.
> The rise of mash-ups reflects the benefits generated by the sharing  
> and
> reuse of GI. This event will create a forum of expertise to explore  
> and
> evolve this emerging technology.”
>
> Delegates will consider a wealth of topics including the history of
> mash-ups, community-driven open-source mapping, new media  
> technology and
> the development of data mashing applications. They are also invited to
> showcase their own mash-up demonstrations and take part in group  
> tutorials.
>
> UK Geospatial Mash-Up will be facilitated by Peter Cochrane OBE,
> co-founder of ConceptLabs and Cochrane Associates, Business Angel,
> Consultant and formerly Chief Technologist at BT. Event speakers will
