The workshop provides a broad overview of the functionality of GIS, providing some examples of how GIS is currently being used, and information about the various types of GIS software available. It also includes information about GIS management and management decisions and will take a critical look at the theory and practices that together comprise GIS. This is not a hands-on course.

Read through the Final Program
"I am truly lucky to have had the opportunity to attend the URISA 2008 Conference in New Orleans, not only for the abundance of information regarding GIS but also to get to meet with each of you. The conference was phenomenal, but above and beyond I most enjoyed every one of our conversations the best. You were all so insightful and enlightening. I walked away with a most improved knowledge of GIS and a feeling of real community and support. I hope that we will continue to stay in touch throughout the years to come. Thank you again for the pleasure of your company and camaraderie."
