Our first regional GIS Conference
was in 1999, when we had a "grand opening" of the "ONRC Clearinghouse
for the Olympic Peninsula". We had a full house. Folks from
federal, state, tribal, local government, and other
organizations from all around the region attended.
For our second GIS conference, we need to revisit the
Clearinghouse (and how!), and we wanted to investigate other
current GIS topics in the region and the state.
Major goals of
this 2003 conference are to:
(1) convene a panel of experts
from both the public and private sectors to expose critical
management needs in the region (primarily natural resources),
reveal existing GIS product and service delivery, and identify
and examine any gaps, and
(2) revisit the Clearinghouse
and find out what's new NSDI Framework efforts at the State
level, and
(3) showcase Olympic Peninsula
and western Washington GIS projects, with an emphasis on
remote sensing!
