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.

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.
Community mapping and public participation is important for urban planning. Social media provides a platform for community participation and online mapping projects engage and excite the public about ideas for long range planning activities for communities around the world. It is also important to understand how various techniques impact people and determine methodologies to measure the usefulness and impact of participatory tools.
