Gold Silver Bronze Nonprofit Events 2 Welcome Letter Welcome! I am pleased that you have chosen to attend our 16th Annual California GIS Conference! On behalf of The Southern California Chapter of URISA and co-sponsoring chapters we welcome you to California’s beautiful coastal location of Huntington Beach! Each year this conference relies on a dedicated team of volunteers throughout this great state. It truly has been wonderful to work with such an inspired and dedicated group of volunteers for this conference. I especially want to thank our sponsors and their contributions to our conference. They are equally committed to ensuring that you are able to take advantage of useful seminars, training and demonstrations that will benefit you and your office. We at CalGIS are proud to present you with a non-vendor specific forum. Please take time to visit and thank our sponsors for their support. It is a partnership between sponsors and volunteers that bring you this conference each year and I hope you will enjoy the fruits of their labor and can take back some new ideas, insights and inspiration to your place of work. As always, we have a wonderful assortment of speakers this year. At our opening and closing plenary sessions you will enjoy a variety of topics from our distinguished keynote speakers. James Fee is GeoBlogger and Evangelist for WeoGeo who will speak about the disruptive state of the geospatial world, new technologies like crowd sourcing, cloud scaling and NoSQL and how geospatial professionals can stay relevant in these uncharted waters. Eric Waldman of Microsoft’s Bing Maps will discuss web mapping services as it relates to empowering organizations to share, visualize and expedite business critical decisions. Nate Johnson of ESRI will discuss actionable information for public safety collaboration with examples from the City of Beverly Hills and the States of Alabama and Virginia. In addition to these visionaries, we will host a special Coastal Resources Track spearheaded by NOAA that will focus on geography and planning for California’s coastline. We also have a unique Homeland Security Summit headed up by the Homeland Infrastructure Foundation-Level Data (HIFLD) Southwest Coordinator that will present information on Federal and California geospatial programs, Southwest Regional Outreach/Coordination and recent catastrophic events like Haiti. I would also like to thank the Indigenous Mapping Network for partnering with us to reach California’s Tribal GIS professionals and welcome them into this community. The GIS Industry in California is one of the most populous and diverse in the country. We hope the content of this event speaks to all of us whether in federal, state, local or tribal government; special districts or utilities; non-profits; educational institutions; or private companies partnering with those groups to solve the challenging issues facing California today. The Planning Committee wants to thank you for investing your time and sharing with your colleagues to make CalGIS 2010 the best place for California GIS professionals to network and share emerging creative geo-solutions that will help us craft Geospatial Implementation in the 21st Century and help to Map California’s promising future. I am so glad we could all come together this week!
