 Please mark your calendars for the NINETEENTH  Annual GIS In Action
Conference <http://www.orurisa.org/GIS_In_Action> , hosted by the
Columbia River Region of the American Society of Photogrammetry and
Remote Sensing (ASPRS <http://www.asprs.org/> ) and the Oregon-Southwest
Washington Chapter <http://www.orurisa.org//>  of the Urban and Regional
Information Systems Association (URISA <http://www.urisa.org/> ). Each
year ASPRS and URISA collaborate to hold this informational conference
on current issues in the Geospatial Information Community. Join us for
what will surely be another successful opportunity to meet with
colleagues in the geospatial industries and organizations, to learn
about emerging topics and recent advances in GIS applications, and to
discuss our problems and solutions together. Don't miss this amazing
opportunity to meet and network with GIS professionals from the region.
Find out who is doing what, and how.
