Last Minute Program Changes
GIS tools help solve real world problems in all kinds of areas today, including facilities management, transportation, utilities, environmental protection, health care and epidemiology, land use planning, marketing, conservation, business strategic planning, engineering, education, social services, economic development, and more. Starting seventeen years ago with a small gathering of early GIS users, the New York State GIS Conference has become a major GIS professional development opportunity for hundreds of GIS users in the state. The conference is a great place to discover how New Yorkers are using GIS to accomplish important objectives in the public and private sectors. Technical presentations feature working professionals who share their GIS experiences and solutions in dealing with real world problems like yours.
Meet fellow New Yorkers active in the GIS field, exchange information and experiences, and seek solutions to your geographic data management needs. Professional networking opportunities help you develop a network of fellow GIS users which can continue through the years. In the exhibit area, GIS vendors and consultants display the latest in GIS hardware, software, analytical techniques, and services.
Keynote Speaker: Susan Carson Lambert, President Elect, National States Geographic Information Council, and Executive Director, Finance and Administration Cabinet, Kentucky Office of GIS
Banquet Speaker: Robert Ader, Geographer, Lands and Realty Program, Bureau of Land Management
