Anyone with some money to burn going to this? I imagine just walking 
around with an osm t-shirt would probably generate quite a bit of 
interest...

- Speakers from LGA, IDeA, Defra
http://www.headstar-events.com/gis08/ .

The European Union's INSPIRE  Directive, which paves the way for
all geospatial data to be shared by public bodies across the EU, is set
to come into full force in the UK in May 2009, but the countdown
begins now. The directive is the focus for Headstar's fourth annual
conference and exhibition on Geographical  Information Systems (GIS)
in the Public Sector, supported by the Association for Geographical
Information (AGI), on 14 May 2008 in central London.

Plenary speakers will include representatives from the Local Government
Association; the Improvement and Development Agency (IDeA); and
the Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra).

Our event promises to be essential day for anyone involved in the
collection, management or use of geospatial data, from policymakers
looking at statistics across a region to those charged with putting
user-friendly map content onto a website. Places cost 295 Pounds plus
VAT for public sector and 395 plus VAT for private sector.
