> for	abstracts
>
> We invite you and your students to submit abstracts and attend the  
> first Conference of Spatial Knowledge and Information Canada.  
> Spatial Knowledge and Information Canada brings together  
> researchers of geo-spatial information who live and work in Canada.  
> We invite researchers who are involved in fields such as:
>
>     * GIScience
>     * Geomatics and geomatics engineering
>     * Participatory GIS
>     * GIS in health and epidemiology
>     * Digital Earth and geoweb (e.g., Google Earth, Virtual Earth,  
> Yahoo
>     Maps)
>     * Business geographics
>     * Spatial statistics
>     * Location based services
>     * GIS and spatial modeling in the Earth Sciences
>     * Urban simulation and modelling
>
> The conference will provide our community an opportunity to share  
> our research, to expose our students to different ways of thinking  
> spatially and using geographic information, and to help sustain our  
> national community. We hope to build cohesion and synergy among  
> Canadian GIS/Geomatics/geoweb researchers. We have several goals,  
> some of which include:
>
>     * Having our student present in front of a Canadian
>     GIS/Geomatics/geoweb research audience.
>     * Share the ongoing and emerging GIS/Geomatics/geoweb research in
>     our community.
>     * Build cohesion and synergy among GIS/Geomatics/geoweb  
> researchers.
>     * Discuss issues of importance to the Canadian GIS/Geomatics/ 
> geoweb
>     community.
>     * Hear from and communicate to important non-GIS/Geomatics/geoweb
>     groups (e.g., department heads, graduate deans, VPs research).
>     * Provide mentorship opportunities for students and junior  
> scholars.
>
> The conference will be held February 15-17, 2008 in Fernie, BC
>
> Deadline for submitting abstracts and registering for the  
> conference: September 15, 2007
