Where 2.0 will be taking place May 12-14 at the San Francisco Airport Marriott.  This is a major geospatial event of the year.  There are sessions by many of the important folks in the geospatial
industry
including many open source geospatial sessions. I would encourage you to try to make it.

Autodesk  and Google are diamond sponsors this year.  Several of us from Autodesk will be presenting at the event.

Convergence of Architectural and Engineering Design and Location Technology: Implications for eGovernment
11:40am Location: Salon A-F
Geoff Zeiss
The convergence of architectural and engineering design, location, and 3D simulation technologies is being driven by productivity and efficiency in the construction industry. But convergence will also enable governments to create a simulated urban environment that will have important implications for citizen involvement, urban planning, emergency planning, and first response.

Digital Cities
2:30pm Location: Salon A-F
Doug Eberhard
Where the world will conceptualize and realize more sustainable cities through the convergence of digital modeling, simulation, visualization, web services and human collaboration.  In our local cities and global economies today, we continue to see increased demand and democratization for richer visual information and communication moving from analog to digital, 2D to 3D, to 4D and beyond.  For people and organizations involved in the planning, design, construction and operations lifecycle of our cities, there is an even greater demand for interoperable “digital city” models with the right levels of detail and accuracy needed to make collective, trusted and timely decisions about existing and proposed conditions.
