WSS-ACSM IS INTERESTED IN DINNER PRESENTATIONS FOR 2010!

We are setting our agenda for next year. We are most interested in presentations that explore geospatial technologies from the standpoint of intersections between geospatial communities: Land Survey, GIS, Geomatics, Geodesy, Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and any other field that uses geospatial technology.

WE OFFER A FREE DINNER FOR OUR PRESENTER! As well, you get to meet a group of geospatial professionals that are versed in related fields.

We are interested in presentations that will be useful for our members and others in the geospatial communities and:

• provide an educational opportunity to learn about contemporary topics.
• demonstrate new, exciting, or innovative technologies.
• demonstrate new ways that tools are used to collect, analyze, distribute, and share geospatial information.
• demonstrate cool applications of geospatial technologies in any field.

Our dinner meetings are held on the 3rd Thursdays of each month, usually at Angelo’s in Bellevue or the Cucina Galliano’s in Seatac, but other venues are possible.

If you or your organization is interested please use this PDF form to give us your contact information and any ideas you have about potential presentations for 2010. They do not have to be set right now. We will evaluate our schedule and your availability to prepare a preliminary schedule for 2010. And, we will keep you in our database for future possibilities.
