About the Conference

GIS in Action 2007

Welcome to GIS in Action 2007! This is the fifteenth annual conference hosted by the Columbia River Region of the American Society of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ASPRS) and the Oregon-Southwest Washington Chapter of the Urban and Regional Information Systems Association (URISA). 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.

This event features a single fee, two-day format, packed with information presented in concurrently running workshops and sessions on both days. There will be three tracks each day, one traditional session of 2-3 presentations per session; the other two tracks will be devoted to technical workshops providing in depth discussion of issues and training in applications most relevant to the geospatial community.
