The International Association of Assessing Officers (IAAO) and the Urban and Regional Information Systems Association (URISA) are pleased to announce the 18th GIS/CAMA Technologies Conference, to be held February 24-27, 2014 in Jacksonville, Florida.
Conference Program
Preconference workshops, important keynote addresses and numerous breakout sessions form the framework for the conference program, which is developed through a review of submissions received through the Call for Presentations (submission deadline was September 23). The GIS/CAMA 2014 Conference Committee has organized the program according to these overall program tracks or themes:
- Get It Done - At a time when budgets and staff sizes are dwindling, getting your work done better and more efficiently is critical. Presentations in this track are designed to give you ideas for improving processes from field data collection to data integrity.
- Run the Numbers - Accurate and equitable valuations are the cornerstone of an assessment office. Learn new ways of analyzing data and take away the lessons learned from statistical models that are being used all over the world.
- Serve It Up - Public confidence can rise and fall based on effective sharing and communication of property data and values with taxpayers, businesses, and other entities. Let peers show you how they have stepped up to the challenge and changed the ways or methods they utilize, display, and communicate data.
Important Note: Presentations that market specific products and services will not be accepted, nor are presentations of this nature acceptable at the conference. Case studies should be presented by the sponsoring organization, not by vendors.There are separate sponsored vendor session opportunities available for this purpose.
