Just Two Weeks Away!

Workshop Space Still Available

Click HERE <http://www.gisinaction.org/content/registration-and-fees> to register.

Only two weeks until the Premier GIS conference in Oregon.

Please mark your calendars for the TWENTY-FOURTH  Annual GIS In Action Conference<http://www.gisinaction.org>, hosted by the Columbia River Region<http://columbia.asprs.org/CRR> 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>).

This year, we are back at Portland State University!

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.

MODERATORS ARE NEEDED

GIS in Action is a great way to get out and connect with our GIS community.

A moderator’s primary job is to introduce the speakers and let them know when they are running out of time.   The fun part of moderating is getting to meet the speakers both before and after the session.

If you have been attending GIS in Action during the past 24 years and wondered how you could give back, being a moderator is easy to do and it is a big help.   Please consider volunteering to moderate a session that you are already planning on attending.

If you are interested in volunteering for a session please send me an email and the session title.  I will fill the slots on a first come first serve basis.

Moderators will be given detailed instructions on how to be a good moderator..

Thank you for helping to make Oregon and Southwest Washington's GIS community vibrant!
