Geographers,

The completely free Regional TNGIC meeting is coming up this September 13. I know that all of you have many responsibilities this fall, but I would encourage those of you interested in geospatial technology to attend and present. Learn from experts from across Tennessee during the sessions, meet potential employers in the exhibit area, and expand your professional network by meeting some of the more than 100 expected geospatial professionals at this event.

This is also an excellent opportunity to present either a presentation or map in a low cost environment with a very supportive crowd. If you worked on a summer research project or have updates to your graduate research, we want to hear from you. The deadline for presentation abstracts is August 31. The deadline for maps is September 6.

Please stop by and see me if you have any questions about the conference.
