 The first Canadian Geomatics Conference will take placeCGC2010   June 15 to 18, 2010 at the Telus Convention Centre in Calgary, Alberta.  Pre-Conference Workshops will be offered June 14. 

The Organizers, a partnership of groups from within the Geomatics Community, are presenting the conference in association with Commission I of the International Society for Photogrammtery and of Remote Sensing.

The conference will focus on the 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.
