Boots, the UK’s leading pharmacy-led health and beauty retailer, will talk about how it uses GIS to better understand customer demographics and behaviours, analyse individual store performance at both a local and regional level and maximise store outreach to strengthen customer catchment.

The Energy Saving Trust, charged with helping energy utilities and other government and non-government organisations work faster towards a low carbon economy, will discuss how GIS plays a crucial role in understanding how energy efficiency schemes are currently, and can be better delivered.

The Thames Tunnel Project; for the past three and a half years the project, for a major new sewer to protect the River Thames from increasing pollution, has been using GIS to manage data, perform analysis, visualise and share information amongst stakeholders.A demonstration of its web-based tools and iPad app will show how the central GIS has been extended to deliver efficiency and ease of access to the right information, at the right time.

Foster and Partners; having pioneered a sustainable approach to architecture from urban masterplans to product design, Foster and Partners’ presentation will illustrate how an in-depth understanding of spatial conditions is key to developing an intelligent design solution.
