Conferences - NRURISA

Can you believe it?! The 2013 Intermountain GIS Conference has come and gone! On March 11-13, 2013, GIS Professionals and Surveyors met in Boise, Idaho for “Maps, Apps, & Bridging Gaps”!

Thank you to all the speakers, especially our featured speakers, because without your willingness to share your apps, ideas, projects and innovations, there would be considerably less stimulating conversations at the Conference.

Special thanks to ISPLS for helping us bridge some gaps and for their continued support with keeping the lines of communications open between our two professions.

And let’s not forget the Maps! Congratulations to our Poster Contest Winners!

Yolonda Youngs (ISU)
Michelle Headley (3Di West)
Jennifer Grew (Denver University)
Matthew Belt (ISU)
Dan Narsavage (Ada County)
Tess Gardner (ISU)

Highlights of the Conference included:

Family Night – Pam Bond & Jerry Korol did a great job getting the word out and attendance was great!

Excellence in GIS Award – This year, Keith Weber was recognized. Congratulations Keith!

Thank you to our sponsors/exhibitors for the 2013 conference!
