Canadian Geomatics Conference 2010 and ISPRS Com I Symposium

Convergence in Geomatics — Shaping Canada’s Competitive Landscape

The Organizers, a partnership of groups from within the Geomatics Community, are please to present the first Canadian Geomatics Conference, in association with Commission I of the International Society for Photogrammtery and of Remote Sensing.

Objective:
The Canadian Geomatics Conference will focus on the abundant yet largely untapped potential of Intelligent Mapping and the critical role Geomatics can play in bolstering Canada’s productivity, innovation, global competitiveness and overall socio-economic well-being.

The Conference is designed to attract decision-makers, the general public and non-traditional users of spatial information, as well as those deeply involved within the Geomatics community: educators, developers, government, industry, and scientists. ISPRS Commission I will present a concurrent program focused on sensors and platforms. This will provide insight into the role space and satellites play in developing the ability to observe, detect and capture accurate data from great distances.

The Theme of this conference: Convergence in Geomatics — Shaping Canada’s Competitive Landscape, reflects the convergence of developments and applications in Geomatics over recent years and its increasing role in supporting the day-to-day decisions that shape our world. More and more people are becoming users of geospatial data, most unaware of the advanced science and technology behind their applications. This is both a challenge and an opportunity for the Geomatics community. This is why conference streams will explore the potential of Geomatics; feature Canadian success stories, examine the strategic importance of Geomatics to Canada’s future and consider how specific scientific and industrial developments and applications can enhance Canada’s socio-economic well-being.
