Please mark your calendars for the *TWENTY-FIFTH  Annual* *GIS In Action
Conference <http://www.gisinaction.org/>*, hosted by the Columbia River

The conference is being hosted by Portland State University*!*

Each year ASPRS and URISA collaborate to hold this informational conference

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

   -    Analytic presentation - Communication of meaningful patterns in data
   -    Data Integration - Combining data from different sources

*Voting will happen on all posters and winners will receive REI gift
certificates. *


*Call for Lightning Talk Presenters!*

Do you have something cool to share with your fellow GIS professionals but
don’t necessarily need a full session to do it?  *GIS In Action* is looking
for 6 presenters for our lunch-time program on  *April 17, 2017.  *Each
presentation can be no more than 5 minutes (yes, there is a timer.)  If
you’ve never seen or been involved in a lightning talk session, they are a
fun, exciting way to get an overview of a variety of interesting work in
the region.

Please submit abstracts (roughly 150 words) directly to Clint Chiavarini,
our Lightning Talk Coordinator, at clinton.chiavarini at oregonmetro.gov by
March 1.

Presenters who are already scheduled for a conference presentation are of
course welcome (and encouraged) to submit for an abbreviated presentation
that will be heard by all of the conference attendees.
