News of Florence’s successful bid was given during the last edition of the INSPIRE Conference, held in Istanbul from 23-27 June 2012.
Each year, a European INSPIRE conference provides stakeholders from government, academia and industry with a forum to discuss the latest developments of the INSPIRE Directive – Infrastructure for Spatial Information in Europe – which entered into force on 15 May 2007, establishing an infrastructure for spatial information to support EU environmental policies.
The bid submitted by the Florence Convention Bureau, supported by ENIC, for the INSPIRE Conference 2013, has been successful thanks to the final presentation in Ispra, home to the JRC Italian Research Institute, with the presence of FCB director Carlotta Ferrari, and Stefano Gabbrielli, CEO of ENIC. This prestigious event, which will be held from 23-27 June 2013 at the Florence Congress Centre, will be attended by at least 1,500 people from all over Europe.
