The conference will include general sessions, an exhibit hall, and social/networking activities designed to create synergy among the many vertical segments (technical disciplines, applications, and sectors) of the surveying, mapping and geospatial community. It will bring together all stakeholders, constituents, and levels of government in the surveying, mapping, and geospatial field. It will be a forum for a discussion of issues and policies, sharing of information and provision of education, and collaboration.
For the general sessions, this “Call for Presentations” is being issued to invite thought leaders in the community to share their knowledge and facilitate discussions on issues in the profession.
Proposals for individual presentations, panel discussions, and “town hall meetings” are requested on topics such as:
- Government Coordination
- Public-Private Partnerships
- Data Acquisition, Processing, or Applications
- New and Emerging Technology
- New Markets
- GPS and GNSS
- LIDAR
- BIM
- Mobile Mapping
- Cloud Computing
- UAVs.
The conference organizers particularly encourage firms that are exhibitors to propose presentations on technologies to be the subject of their exhibit booths. Presentations can be:
- Technical – an emerging technology, applications, data collection or processing
- Government Programs – data collection initiatives, contracting, legislation, or public policy
- Business and Professional Practice — management, ethics or operations issues in a surveying, mapping, or geospatial firm, agency or organization.
Presentation and session suggestions are welcome.
Please submit suggestion or expression of interest, along with a title, 50 word abstract, and name of the presenter, via the conference website www.surveyingandmapping.net by January 15.
