Special thanks to Homes England, Improvement Service, Rural Payments & Inspections Division, Torfaen Council and Keep Wales Tidy who contributed to the programme with insightful stories of how location data is helping them achieve great things, and also to the OS Partners who were there supporting our public sector community by showcasing their services and solutions.

Supporting regional events

We understand that not everyone can travel to our national events, so we are hosting two special PSGA working groups in the North and South West of England. PSGA members are invited to attend these in-person meetings for OS data updates, technical and licensing support, and networking with the public sector community.
