Why should I attend? The goal of the interactive workshop and conference 
is to serve and enhance communications among the communities of users of 
The National Map, Federal GIS specialists and scientists, and data 
providers. Topics will include existing applications and visions for 
future scientific and modeling applications using The National Map, 
opportunities for partnerships, and advances in geospatial technologies. 
The event will focus on user and partner interaction using various 
formats: interactive panels, lightening sessions, poster presentations, 
workshops, as well as presentations and demonstrations. This gathering is 
designed to provide a relaxed, collaborative, and informative venue to 
explore the direction of The National Map, mapping trends, and GIS 
applications.
