2012 Annual Conference

2012 NYS GIS Association Conference

The 2012 NYS GIS Association Conference was held in Syracuse on May 15^th and 16^th.

• Day 1 included informative hands-on workshops and seminars conducted in cooperation with SUNY ESF and O’Brien & Gere Engineers.  Day 1 wrapped up with a networking social at the Syracuse OnCenter
• Day 2 took on a different schedule from past conferences.  Jeff Howe was the featured keynote speaker and he spoke about crowd sourcing and provided a day-long exercise for conference participants  to experience crowd-sourcing first-hand.  Many took advantage of the hands-on opportunities at the “App Garden” and “Technology Petting Zoo!”    There was also plenty of time to network.
