<span style="font-size: 11px;" class="">This is shaping up to be
an interesting conference in that it’s attempting to cross Geo
boundaries and disciplines and bring together interested Geo
professionals and academics that might not congregate
otherwise. The audience is sourced from at least three
states. The conference organizing committee includes each
States' respective GIS organization. Much of the audience
will be new to (you potential) presenters as well. It’s going
to be a good venue to expand the reach and awareness of your
project(s) and ideas.</span><span style="font-size: 11px;"
class=""> Anything Geo related is a candidate for submittal.

Please pass this Email on to those in your network with
interest, in order for us to cast the widest possible net on

<br>
In addition, I’m tasked with pulling together an Open Source
track of presenters, all ideas welcome. If you have an idea
for an Abstract or Workshop, be it Open Source or not, please
consider submitting it for the conference, but all you Open
Sorcerers (Yes the wizarding kind) please copy me with your
interest to be included in the Open Source track.</span><br

<br style="font-size: 11px;" class="">
<span style="font-size: 11px;" class="">The call for Abstracts
ends Jan. 18th. Please consider joining us at the Univ. of
Wi., La Crosse on </span>May 25-26th, 2016. <br>
