The UK’s geospatial membership organisation; leading, connecting and developing a community of members who use and benefit from geographic information. The AGI exists to represent the interests of the UK's GI industry; a wide-ranging group of public and private sector organisations, suppliers of GI software, hardware, data and services, consultants, academics and interested individuals. The AGI, by way of its unique membership forum, brings together the previously disparate GI community to share ideas on best practice, experience and innovation, and offers access to unparalleled networking opportunities with significant business benefits. As such it acts for the promotion and benefit of the community as a whole. Since its formal inception in 1989, it has built up a significant membership base and established itself as the respected voice in GI.
