Autodesk has announced its sponsorship of this year’s GSDI World Conference to be held in Rotterdam, the Netherlands on 15 – 19 June 2009. The theme is Spatial Data Infrastructure Convergence: Building SDI Bridges to Address Global Challenges and Autodesk is supporting the event as a Platinum sponsor.
Autodesk’s investment in the conference demonstrates its strengthening role in the geospatial business area – in particular, supporting local governments manage their meta-data to meet INSPIRE directives and using its technology and experience to help them integrate GIS and CAD into a single source of centralised information. Autodesk is also currently extending its partnerships in this area to help further build on its expertise and knowledge to help customers move from theory to practice and so take advantage of current opportunities.
