CALL FOR PARTICIPATION Spatial Technology Gallery: a special event at the 2007 Association of American Geographers Annual Meeting Venue: Hilton San Francisco, 333 O'Farrell Street San Francisco, CA 94102 Wednesday, April 18, 2007, 7:00pm-9:30pm
Organizers: Alan Glennon and Mike Goodchild University of California, Santa Barbara Call for Participants: We have a strong group of invitees for this event, but are interested in attracting a few more. If you would like an invitation to participate, please send a brief description of your spatial technology project to Alan Glennon (alan at geog.ucsb.edu). We will make a decision on the remaining available space by March 30th. Description: On Wednesday evening, a select group of researchers from academia, government labs, and industry have been invited to demonstrate their latest, cutting-edge spatially-enabled technologies. The format will be simultaneous demos--a mix of science fair, test drive, and show-and-tell. This organic event will provide an opportunity to examine and discuss the technology and incubating ideas that will be impacting in coming weeks, months, and years, with the pioneering minds that are making them. We anticipate topics spanning virtual globes, augmented reality, open source mapping projects, internet GIS, environmental simulation and prediction, map mashups, and mobile spatial data collection. All AAG registrants are invited and welcome to attend. Notes for invited participants: Invitees will be provided a table, backboard, and internet connection. Otherwise, participants should bring their own computers, equipment, and any other necessary materials. Note for the geowanking listserv: With my current sponsorship, I am hoping to allow the spatial community to attend for free (as opposed to only paying AAG conference registrants). I'll post updates as things develop. For now, I'm looking for a few additional people/groups interested in showing demonstrations. If you are formally invited, there is no cost to attend or demonstrate. However, to attend anything else at the AAG Annual Meeting, you would have to register and pay normally. General AAG Annual Meeting Information: http://aag.org/annualmeetings/ We look forward to an interesting night.
