Getting Ready for the 2006 NSGIC Conference
It's late Saturday night, in the Peabody Hotel in Little Rock, Arkansas. Many NSGIC members are now getting ready for rest, gathering their strength for the start of the Annual NSGIC Conference tomorrow morning.
Well more than 200 are expected: state GIS coordinators, federal staff from USGS, Census and Homeland Security, academics, and private sector folks will spend the week discussing ways to improve the use and sharing of geospatial data.
We're not the only ones gathered at the Peabody this week. The Chief Officers of State Library Agencies (COSLA) will also start a national meeting tomorrow. There's irony here; both organizations are involved in similar pursuits.
I hope to live-blog the NSGIC Conference. That will depend on wireless access in the State Conference Center, but I will try. I'll also use the week to try to turn this into more of a group-blog.
Do stay tuned.
