The NYS GIS conference has a long standing tradition of providing attendees with an opportunity to meet fellow New Yorkers active in the GIS field, exchange information and real experiences, and seek solutions to your geographic data management needs.
As one 2008 NYS GIS attendee stated, “I always appreciate the ability to network and see colleagues from across the state. The conference always has a good draw and interacting with all the talented individuals really brings good value for me.”
