Thinktank Birmingham Science Museum [ View on map ]

The AGS Data Management Working Group invites you to attend this full-day CPD conference, which will cover the latest developments and advancements in AGS Electronic Transfer of Data.

Suitable for engineering geologists, geotechnical engineers, geoenvironmental specialists and data scientists, this event will provide industry expert presentations, including an overview of the refinements to the AGS4 data dictionary with the release of AGS 4.2, AGSi, AGS Piling and an outline of the proposed AGS 5 (estimated release in 2030).

During this one day conference, the Working Group will discuss recent developments since the 2022 Conference. They’ll include an overview of the need-to-know refinements to the AGS4 data dictionary and a broad summary of the Working Groups activities.  They’ll also use the time to signpost to some helpful resources.

Attendees will also have the chance to engage with members of the Working Group and gain perspective of the industry’s data management thought leaders.

The world is a fast-changing place, and the buzzwords of AI and big data can present challenges as well as opportunities.  Find out how you can be involved as we evolve AGS data to be fit for the future.

Whether you are looking to get involved in the next generation of the format or find out more about AGS Electronic Transfer of Data, this event can help future-proof your organisation.
