[gis_info] 2008 NW GIS User Conference

[SMITH Cy * EISPD GEO]

The 2008 Northwest GIS User Conference is just two months away --
October 20-24, 2008

 

Whether you went to the ESRI User Conference in San Diego or not, the
Northwest GIS User Conference is an inexpensive, local opportunity to
receive affordable GIS training, learn about the latest trends in GIS
technology, share or display your work with your regional counterparts
and learn what others in the Pacific Northwest GIS community are doing.

 

The theme of this year's Northwest GIS User Conference is "Serving The
World". The theme focuses on using server and Internet technology to
delivery GIS solutions to the world. Our two keynote speakers will
address the importance of delivering GIS services to the public and
customers and the technology that makes it possible. ESRI will present
upcoming trends and products and provide several focused technical
sessions on GIS software. There will also be a vendor show, where you
can see the latest offering from GIS vendors serving the Northwest. The
cornerstone of the Northwest GIS User Conference is an entire day of
user presentations and the poster show. This is where you have the
opportunity to share your work and to learn from you colleagues from
around the Pacific Northwest. 

 

All this occurs in a relaxed, informal environment in a beautiful, yet
inexpensive, setting in Sun Valley, Idaho. 

 

One of the long-time characteristics of the Northwest GIS User
Conference is that it provides you an opportunity to pitch in. Do you
have a GIS project or solution that you would like to share as a
presentation or poster? How about a focused breakout session that you
would like to organize? Do you have a local GIS group for which you
would like to have a side meeting? These and more are all possible. The
Northwest GIS User Conference depends on your participation. Contact me
at bbutterfield at idfg.idaho.gov for information on how to get involved.

 

Early registration continues for another month. Starting September, 21
the conference fees increase, so be sure to register now. Full
conference information, including program, registration, lodging,
presentation and poster submittals, training opportunities and local
offerings can be found by going to www.nwesriusers.org and clicking on
the link to the 2008 conference.

 

I hope to see you in Sun Valley in October.

Cy and Dave,

 

The OR list serve rejected my email. Would one of you mind submitting it
for me or registering me so that I can submitted it. I appreciate any
help you can give me. The text of the message is:

 

 

 

 

 

This year's Northwest GIS User Conference will be held October 20 - 24,
2008 in Sun Valley, Idaho. I think you will find that we have an
exciting conference planned for you.

 

Pre-conference training is October 20 - 21. We are offering six two-day
workshops and four Tuesday evening workshops. 

 

The main conference is October 22 - 24. The theme of this year's
conference, "Serving the World", emphasizes the expanding role of GIS
and the Internet in distributing geospatial information worldwide.

 

The conference features two keynote speakers who will address the issues
of using GIS to enhance citizen services and the technology that makes
it all possible. 

 

The cornerstone of any Northwest GIS User Group Conference is the User
Presentations and Posters. This is where you have the opportunity to
share your work with or to learn from your colleagues from across the
Pacific Northwest. We are accepting presentations and posters in any
aspect of GIS. We especially encourage papers and posters that
demonstrate Internet-based products and technologies. 

 

We look forward to seeing you in Sun Valley, one of our favorite venues!
Fall weather can be filled with sunshine, with warm days and cool
nights. But be prepared for rain or snow, just in case. 

 

You can find more information about the conference and Sun Valley by
visiting www.nwesriusers.org and clicking on the 2008 conference link.

 

We hope to see you there.

Cy and Dave,

 

Gail Ewart sent me the email address for the Oregon GIS list serve so
that I could advertise this year's NW GIS User Conference. She said one
of you would have to approve it. I just submitted the message to the
list serve. I hope you will be able to approve it. If you have any
questions feel free to give me a call.
