Hyatt Regency Miami
The Urban and Regional Information Systems Association (URISA) is pleased to host the fourth specialty conference to explore the many uses of GIS for public health access, processes, and decision-making. A dedicated committee of well-known and respected professionals in the field has developed another successful GIS in Public Health specialty conference to promote sharing of information and networking within the discipline
Conference Vision: To provide an open and participatory forum for advancing the effective use of spatial information and geographic information system technologies across the domains of public health, healthcare and community health preparedness.
Why should your company reserve a booth at URISA’s GIS in Public Health Conference?
- Attendees at this conference are uniquely enthusiastic about exploring technology solutions to the health and human services challenges facing our world.
- Exclusive opportunities to interact with attendees in the exhibit hall
- Reinforce your company’s position, or introduce your presence, in the public health marketplace
- Strengthen your relationships with your current customers
- Meet and build relationships with prospective customers

Most of the exhibit hours are dedicated hours, meaning there is no program conflicting with exhibit time. Attendees will not feel pressured to choose between educational sessions and making connections with you. Exhibitors will have time to attend sessions and network outside of the exhibit hall.
