Looking Ahead to Madison

While most of our focus is, appropriately, on the NSGIC Mid-Year Meeting at Annapolis in just under a month, here's a chance for a brief look ahead to the 2007 NSGIC Annual Conference in Madison, Wisconsin.

The FlickrBlog this morning includes an entry on the most active city-focused groups of photographers on the photo-sharing site. Madison's group is right up there near the top of the list.

With a population of just 221,551 (only the 83rd largest city in America), the Madison, Wisconsin Flickr group has 473 members (or one member for every 468 citizens).

So, those thinking about attending the Annual Conference (and you should) can get a preview of the views to be seen around the conference site.

This also raises the question of NSGIC shutterbugs. I'm known as a picture-snapper at conferences, and there are others who help take photos to record our gatherings. We can always use more, though. Are you an amateur photographer as well as a GIS pro? We might need your help.
