Geospatial Summit

*The Summit is BACK!* *

*On May 18-19th the 2010 NYS GeoSpatial Summit will be held at the historic Otesaga Hotel overlooking beautiful Otsego Lake in Cooperstown. Sponsored by the NYS GIS Association and the NYS Office of Cyber Security and Critical Infrastructure Coordination, the event will be kicked off with a reception on the evening of the May 18th at the Baseball Hall of Fame. Enjoy the reception and talk one-on-one with geospatial leaders from New York State and beyond. In addition, take advantage of the setting to conduct a free tour of the Hall of Fame, and, later, stroll the shores of the pristinelake that James Fenimore Cooper featured in many of his novels and dubbed "Glimmerglass."

The main event will occur on May 19th at the Otesaga Hotel and will feature speakers from the avant-garde of the geospatial industry. They include Steve Coast founder of OpenStreetMap, a collaborative map of the world and organizer of the Atlanta Mapathon; James Fee, GIS developer, analyst, consultant and founder of the provocative James Fee Blog; Nicholas Roy,a member of MIT’s Robust Robotics Group, which is developing unmanned vehicles that can fly without GPS through unmapped indoor environments and robots that can drive through unmapped cities; and Ted Morgan, co-founder of Skyhook Wireless, a company founded to take advantage of the demand for location based services using Wi-Fi technologies. Attendees will have both an opportunity to learn about the latest in geospatial concepts from these speakers and more while being able to take part in the Summit’s interactive panel discussions with each of them.

*Mark the date on your calendar now and REGISTER NOW!

*Make sure to take time out to visit one of the most beautiful spots in New York this spring.

*Also, don’t forget that the NYS GIS Conference will be held this year October 24th-October 26th in historic Saratoga Springs, NY.
