Geospatial information is everywhere, at everyone’s fingertips and URISA as an organization has been at the forefront for the past 50 years, through global technology and social shifts. In the time it took you to pull up the description of this conference, perhaps on your phone, tablet or laptop, you have already considered the conference location, investigated the good eats and conference events, and mapped all of your indoor and outside activities. URISA connects members and partners with the educational, networking and collaboration resources that professionals need to evolve geospatial tools and solutions that respond to real places in real time.
Join the GIS Community in Toronto, Ontario for a powerful, collective exchange of GIS knowledge!
Professional Planners: Be sure to note the workshops and sessions that have been approved for AICP-CM credits. Nearly 50 AICP-CM credits were approved for this year’s program!
Creating an attendee profile within Sched DOES NOT REGISTER you for the conference or specific workshops. You must register for the conference here.
Note: If you get a phone call from someone claiming to be from the Westin Harbour Castle saying that there is now a cheaper rate... just hang up. It is a scam.
Get ready to dive in! In this very interactive workshop, we will be using local Toronto data in conjunction with the University of Toronto to offer our skillsets for input into several current local research initiatives, and opportunities with the lens of community resiliency.
The workshop will use existing datasets as well as a chance to explore with a community mapping workshop just outside the doors of the conference hotel. This is a unique opportunity to join alongside several of URISA's multi-disciplined and talented workshop participants and give back to this year's host city for GIS-Pro 2016!
A very diverse set of topics will include community redevelopment, heathy communities, economic considerations and environmental aspects. Participants will identify gaps and collection needs in the workshop to define resiliency related targets and measures. In addition to contributing to research and active planning areas within the city, participants will be equipped to apply strategies and techniques in their own communities.
