UCGIS meeting schedule has changed in 2012
At the June 2011 Summer Assembly, the UCGIS Board voted to consolidate
the UCGIS meeting schedule to one meeting per year and host the meeting in
the spring of each year, while combining the best of both the winter meeting
and summer assembly activities in that meeting.

Building GIScience 2.0
May 30-June 1, Washington DC Doubletree Hotel
Let's get to work creating GIScience 2.0. GIScience has had a profound
influence on society over the past 20 years. During 2011, UCGIS has been
considering its 15-year history and its vision for the future. This Spring,
come participate in Washington and help create the next generation of
GIScience! We are combining the traditional winter and summer meetings into
a single 3 day event that will bring the community together to advance
GIScience research, education, and policy.
- Share your ideas about the future of GIScience in a 5-minute
lightning talk on research, education, or policy
- Build relationships between the GIScience academy and federal
government in a UCGIS Geospatial Extension Project workshop
- Form or join a working group to solve major challenges in
research, education, and policy
- Develop plans for collaborative grant proposals
- Chart your personal role in helping our discipline become
stronger
Twenty years from now, you'll be able to say, "I was there for the birth
of GIScience 2.0."
May 30-June 1, 2012
