7th Annual African Conference & Exhibition on Geospatial Information, Technology & Applications
Introduction
From Map Africa to Africa Geospatial Forum, our conferences have evolved tremendously with time, encompassing and deliberating on various application areas and emerging geospatial technologies and proved to be an enriching platform to share experiences and ideas pertaining to geospatial domain across Africa region. Following the encouraging response from Africa Geospatial Forum 2011 and to achieve our motto to disseminate the awareness and knowledge of geospatial technologies with involvement of users across the length and breadth of the continent, we are glad to bring Africa Geospatial Forum 2012 to Ghana ~one of the emerging nations of the West Africa. Relatively diverse and rich natural resource base, resources of minerals, major oil discovery off the coast of Ghana, relatively advanced industrial base and one of the fastest growing economies, all these factors lead to significant interest in Ghana.
Africa Geospatial Forum 2012 shall have impressive technical programme with a renowned array of speakers from across the continent who will share their unique perspective and insights into the African Geospatial industry. The conference shall offer an unparalleled balance of substantive information with ample time for networking and socialising. Through the voices of key major users, decision makers, technology innovators, and industry leaders the conference will examine the programmes, systems, and initiatives that are transforming the continent with key focus on most demanding sectors of the region.
