Dear Colleagues,
The Global Spatial Data Infrastructure Association is pleased to
invite the global spatial data community to attend our 9th
international conference in Santiago, Chile. The primary sessions
will occur Monday through Friday November 6-10, 2006. Continuing with
our organizational goal of fostering spatial data infrastructure
developments in support of important worldwide needs, the theme of
GSDI-9 is "Spatial Information: Tool for Reducing Poverty."
The conference program has been designed to accommodate opening and
closing plenary sessions with keynote speakers, a special plenary
session on the use of spatial technologies in addressing the plight
of the poor, technical sessions in five parallel tracks for which
many will have simultaneous translation in Spanish and English, half-
day pre-conference and mid-conference workshops freely open to all
registrants, an extensive poster exhibit and competition, and
numerous organized round table discussions to allow people from
common regions of the globe or with common interests to present,
discuss, and share issues, experiences and plans.
The conference will be held at the Diego Portales Convention Center
in the heart of the lovely city of Santiago. The program promises to
be the most exciting and best yet.
GSDI-9 will support two primary forms of publication:
(1) a normal conference proceedings with abstracts and full articles
(2) a published book of fully refereed articles
