OS NGD Talks, Webinars, Tutorial Videos and Case Studies

📣Talks

OS NGD Lightning Talks are available on our 'More Than Maps' site (a self-serve platform that provides a one-stop shop for all your OS technical geospatial support, including tutorials, demonstrators and case studies). The talks are presented by OS Technical Consultants who introduce the OS NGD data themes and show you what can be achieved using OS NGD data and how. New talks are added to the More Than Maps site periodically.

The same Lightning Talks are available to PSGA (Public Sector Geospatial Agreement) Members and OS Partners from the PSGA Members area and the Partner Portal, respectively.)

The following video from the Geospatial Commission Public Sector Contracts Annual Conference in October 2022 gives a high-level introduction to the OS NGD, including what data is available, how to access the data, the support available, the benefits, and the roadmap for product enhancements:
