Call for Abstracts Brochure (Adobe PDF 566Kb)

The abstract submission deadline has passed.

We encourage submissions dealing with virtually any aspect of the collection, management, analysis and application of geospatial data and information. Topical areas are expected to range from geographic information systems, to photogrammetry, remote sensing, global positioning, cartography, computer science, geoscience, bioscience, engineering, land planning, natural resource management, environmental science, natural disaster assessment, social science and business.

If you have not presented a technical paper in the past, you will find this a very beneficial experience. In fact, many individuals and organizations have indicated that giving a presentation at an ASPRS Annual Conference has in some way changed their professional lives and the way they go about their geospatial business. We not only encourage your participation as a new attendee or presenter, we welcome previous attendees and presenters to join us once again to share in the multiple values of interactive information exchange within a broadly-based and informed audience.

Oral presentation, as well as poster presentation, are highly encouraged and will be featured throughout the conference. We aim to have the poster presentations “come alive” by organizing them in a highly interactive manner. Each poster presenter will have up to 2-3 minutes to present the topic, significance, methods and main findings of their work to a large participating audience. The author(s) of the poster will then welcome interested participants by the display board for further discussions and interactions after all posters have been presented. A panel of evaluators from the Conference will evaluate all posters and determine the recipients of Best Poster Awards.

A list of suggested topics and presentation types is shown below. Please determine which topic area and type is most appropriate for your presentation.
