GIS Applications Showcase

November 26, 2002
8:30 Am - 3:30 pm
Ramada Plaza Conference Resort
Richmond, B.C.

Thank you to all of you who attended the GIS Applications Showcase event. We had a great turnout to this event. The total registered was 157. We appreciate your support in our endeavours to promote GIS knowledge through this type of seminar.

The purpose of the seminar was to explore how GIS applications are playing a role in both business and local government. By the resounding feedback we have received so far this event was successful in its purpose. We hope you gained some useful insight into what other users are doing with GIS and that you derived some value from attending, which you can in turn utilize in your workplace.

Thank you also to our Presenters and Sponsors. Events like this are successful because of all of you. We hope this event was as beneficial to you as it was to the attendants. Our Sponsor Logos, which have links to their website, will be left up on our site for the next two weeks. Please utilize these links to find out more about our sponsors for this event.

The presentations from the event have been added to this page for your future reference.

We also thank the Ramada for their excellent service and support throughout the day. Thank you to all who helped us make this event as successful as it was.

We look forward to seeing you at the next event, which will be announced soon.
