Webinars

We'll show you how local councillors can use the LGA funded service, FindMyStreet, to streamline casework and understand the status of roads in your ward.

Unlocking the Power of Digital Transformation in local authorities.

Join us for a webinar to understand the importance of Return on Investment to justifying continued investment in geo-referenced address and street data.

techUK hosted a webinar examining the return on investment that local authorities could receive through their Local Land and Property Gazetteers (LLPGs).

All councils have an incredible pool of data at their disposal. By linking this data, you can increase the efficiency of processes as well as gain more insight about your residents and business, in order to target resources more effectively.

GeoPlace participated in Day 3 of this online event.

GeoPlace participated in Day 3 of this online UKA event on digital, data and technology infrastructure. The webinar explored where we should focus effort in terms of integration, delivering efficiencies, meeting net zero to power the digital public services of tomorrow.

This webinar shares with both tech suppliers and local authorities what the opportunities through wider use of the UPRN and USRN open standards are.

techUK’s Local Public Services Programme holds its annual future gazing event which is an opportunity to reflect and celebrate the achievements of digital local government of the past year.

Good data protection and information governance (IG) frameworks will enable local services to identify and support the vulnerable in our communities. Getting data protection and information governance right from the outset will make this challenge easier for local services.

How can local authorities, health and other local public services link and share data in order to identify and support vulnerable people in their communities this winter?

Is your organisation delivering the true value of its data? Does it have a consistent, joined up evidence base across place to underpin decision making? Does it use a standard ‘golden thread’ to weave data together around people and places?

Barnsley Council has been on a mission since 2019 to unlock the massive potential of its data. Local authorities collect significant amounts of valuable data about their citizens, communities and places. The age-old challenge is how do you get that data to a place where you can start making connections that will turn it into usable intelligence?

This session discusses the need for open standards and ‘key registers’ for critical data assets such as land and property information to support a cross-cutting, functional model for government. It will outline the value of a consistent, joined up evidence base to underpin all decisions around land and property, and service delivery to people at places. After all, everything happens somewhere.

GeoPlace ran a session with tech UK on 16th December 2021 on ‘Linking people with places - Improving local public services through data driven approaches'.

The Government Analysis Function hosted a webinar on 8th March focussing on the value of Unique Property Reference Numbers (UPRNs) in data linking and connectivity. Data linking enriches the insights that can be drawn about society, maximising data utility and better informing policy decisions. UPRNs are a key facilitator.

UPRNs are the golden key to unlocking value at every stage of the property chain and provide the answers to many of the questions that have previously increased risk and cost in the property sector.

In place of the postponed GeoPlace annual conference in April 2020, GeoPlace ran a webinar to brief the local authority community, celebrate the impact of their work, and discuss the coming year.
