NYGeoCON begins on the evening of November 11th with a networking reception at 7 pm. The first full day of the conference features a keynote presentation by Jack Levis of UPS. Jack appeared in the Penn State´s "Geospatial Revolution" series? http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=nMrhuKoE3cI Jack serves as the Senior Director of Process Management for UPS. Jack will talk about the process of integration of technology (GIS) into their operations systems and how that has improved their service as well as reduced their costs. In this era of having to justify the role GIS can play in your organization, we thought that Jack would provide some unique insights for the attendees.
Also, that morning´s plenary session will feature NY´s first Geographic Information Officer (Bill Johnson) providing input on what´s happening around New York through his State of the State presentation. This will give everyone a chance to see who is doing what around the State and then network with the professionals involved afterward to find out the details on their projects.
The remainder of the day will be divided into two multi-track sessions with invited speakers. Topics under consideration now include GIS in the cloud, use of UAV´, crowd sourcing data, enhanced LiDAR, and web mapping services. That evening will be highlighted by a net working reception and numerous other after hours activities.
Day two will feature presentations submitted by GIS professionals around the State. In addition, networking opportunities with your peer GIS professionals from around the State will be provided throughout the conference as well as after hours as you walk through one of New York's most beautiful cities.
