UPDATE Oct. 12, 2009 - Abstract Submission has been closed for the 2009 NWGIS conference.
Tired of boring presentations that don't relate to what you do?
Do something about it. Influence the outcome by voting for abstracts as they are submitted to NWGIS Sessions. Better yet, present yourself. I know the idea is abstract, but it's one sure way to make sure the conference isn't abstract for the rest of us.
Take a look around. This year's conference theme is "Doing More with Less." That goes for this endeavor as well.
- Share your hacks, scripts, tips and tricks.
- Document ways you're succeeding in this economy.
- Recycle the poster you took to a conference last October.
But whatever you do, participate. Share your thoughts, vote on the outcome and come October floor us with your insights (or at least a good joke).
No really. It's what we do best. We get an awesome bunch of cartographers, spatial analysts, geoprogrammers and map monkeys together in one place to share what we know. And we think we do a pretty good job of it.
