The 2010 Canadian Geomatics Conference and Exhibit will unite
members of the geomatics community and public and private sector
decision makers to discuss and showcase the critical role
geomatics can play in bolstering Canada’s productivity,
innovation, global competitiveness and overall socio-economic
well-being. This interactive Conference will attract the best
people in the national and international geomatics community to
demonstrate how geomatics has the potential to pump even more
benefits into the Canadian economy if it was leveraged more
strategically to advance a wide range of public and private
sector initiatives. The Conference will therefore offer public
and private sector decision-makers with creative and innovative
strategies and solutions that may be put into practice right
away.
The Conference features an exhibit area, plenary sessions,
tutorials and a sharply-focused educational conference program.
Several networking and social events are confirmed – an Opening
Ceremony, an evening Welcoming Reception in the Exhibit Hall, an
evening reception and buffet dinner at the North West Geomatics
Ltd’s Calgary facility, and the first annual Canadian Geomatics
Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony.

Furthermore, the ISPRS Commission I concurrent program focusing on sensors and platforms will bring some added international profile and prestige to the event. Our interactive website – www.geoconf.ca – will reinforce the marketing and media strategy.
