Regional events

Regional events

We understand travel and budget restrictions can be a barrier to attending our national events in person, so Ordnance Survey (OS) are hosting supporting regional events across England where you can connect with us locally.

The programme for our regional events will be delivered through presentations, roundtables and workshops that will give you the opportunity to feedback and discuss the things that matter to you, including our roadmap, the OS Data Hub and support when migrating to OS NGD data.

 OS product and technical experts will be available for you to engage with on your specific challenges and needs.

Webinars

Webinars

For anyone who cannot afford the time to attend one of our in-person events, or if you prefer to engage with us digitally, webinars will be scheduled in January 2027 and will deliver the main content presented at the national and regional events.

Further details and information on how to register will be available later this year.

"The annual PSGA event [in Scotland] is always one that Improvement Service colleagues and I look forward to. It always contains a broad range of informative presentations, and it is a great opportunity to catch up, in person, with familiar faces in the network. In recent years we have seen great collaboration and knowledge sharing at these sessions. It is one of the key industry events in the calendar and it is always great to see the different innovative uses of the data that are showcased."

Ron Wilkinson, Spatial Information Programme Manager at the Improvement Service
