Membership Overview
“I joined AGI because I was struggling to find a University placement that used GIS. Now that I have joined, I am currently on a GIS placement and loving it! AGI gave me the ability to make contacts with future employers using GIS that I wouldn’t have made anywhere else. Best decision I have made for my career!" Jonathan Hardman, South Eastern Regional College (SERC).
Our 2000 + AGI named members are from all GI backgrounds, interests and ages and are part of the biggest independent GI network in the UK. Can you afford not to be a part of that?
What some of our members say:
“The benefits of CPD are well acknowledged and membership of the AGI enables all staff to gain credible points that can be used both internally and towards Chartered Geographer status.” Shona Frost CGeog (GIS), Staffordshire County Council
“I joined AGI to have chance to influence the direction of the industry in which I worked. I benefit from AGI events by making new contacts and learning new stuff! The AGI is important since it represents the best channel to communicate our views as politicians, commercial decision makers and government officials.” Andy Coote, ConsultingWhere
“The AGI is core to shaping GI Strategy at a Local Authority level. With intelligent response/consultation to major initiatives such as INSPIRE, members are guided though our evolving sector with valuable workshops (national/regional) and guidance documents.” Craig Moulding, Calderdale MBC
"I joined AGI as a student and have been an avid supporter ever since. The benefits to both myself and my employer are numerous, and are constantly evolving to meet what the membership requires. The network of contacts I have made has been invaluable - if I need data or information, I either know instantly who to contact, or can track it down within hours - this is down to the AGI. It is also a good source of whats happening and what's new in the industry. The AGI represents all sectors, but still maintains impartiality." Simon Wheeler, Department of Environment NI
“I joined the AGI to stay up-to-date with what’s happening in the geospatial industry in the UK. The AGI provides me (and my company) with access to the latest geospatial industry knowledge and provides a useful forum for sharing best practice on the use of geographic information.” Chris Ewing, Aon Benfield (Insurance)
“Membership of the AGI is really good value for Powys County Council; our GIS staff are able to take advantage of discounted rates for excellent seminars.” Susan D Beetlestone, Powys County Council
“Membership of the AGI ensures the organisation is fully abreast of both technological and policy decisions that may affect our work. Being able to influence government policy on location is essential – the AGI provides our business with that voice. As the main GIS industry body, membership of the AGI provides access to both industry news/developments and opportunities to network and share ideas with peers.” Jonathan Marshall, British Waterways
"I joined the AGI in 1992 when living overseas. It was my 'bridge' to the UK GI scene. When I returned to the UK I worked in the industry and always took advantage of the excellent business promotional opportunities the AGI afforded my employer and the networking it offered me. If you want to see the broader 'geo' world outside the confines of your role, develop your skills, increase your connectivity and professionalism, then AGI membership is an opportunity that cannot be missed." Chris Holcroft CGeog (GIS), AGI
Joining may cost less than you think and entitles you to 12 months of benefits.
