For years, the conference used the same format of volunteered speakers sorted into generalized tracks.this year we are bringing in a hybrid model in which we will have a number of “invited” speakers discussing new topics on technology and industry directions as well as “volunteered” presentations by your peers in New York.
This year there will be a brand new feature called the “App Garden”. This is the modern, natural evolution of the poster session. You don’t just read about it, you play with it! Visit this exciting exhibit of applications on web-based and mobile platforms.

The emergence of geospatial technology as a highly effective and potentially invasivemeans of surveillance raises technical, ethical, and policy issues related to overhead imagery, integrated terrestrial surveillance, data integration, and locational privacy.
Policy issues arising from aerial surveillance include “shutter control,” restrictions on the sale of imagery to enemies of American allies, law-enforcement applications,industrial spying, and recent troubling challenges to our “reasonable expectation of
privacy.” -Mark Monmonier,
