IGTF 2016—FORT WORTH, TEXAS, APRIL 11-15, 2016
T
he ASPRS Imaging andGeospatial Technology Forum (IGTF) is the premier scientific
and engineering forum in the United States (and one of the top internationally) for
geospatial professionals from industry, government, and academia. ASPRS invites your
participation.
Abstracts now being accepted for oral (slide-based and post-
er-based) presentations, proposals for professional devel-
opment workshops (lecture or hands-on), and Frontier Day
Business and Frontier Day STEM/STEAM Workshops.
SEE PAGE 898 FOR MORE INFORMATION.
The 2016 meeting will add an outreach component called
“Frontier Day”. Each day of the traditional program will
focus on particular application areas, while each session
will address the applications from a different technical per-
spective (e.g. Lidar, Photogrammetry, etc.). Outreach will
target new and potential beneficiaries of geospatial technology and services that do
not traditionally attend the ASPRS meetings (business development for the benefit of
our members), and STEM educators and/or students (youth development for the ben-
efit of society). Keynote presentations will come from representatives of government,
academic, and business sectors. The high-level program for the annual meeting looks
like this:
As you can see, each day is packed with relevant technical
activities, and the evenings have been mostly left open for
networking and business.

We are excited to welcome back
the JACIE Workshop to again
co-locate with our conference.
The intent of the JACIE workshop
is to exchange information regard-
ing the characterization and ap-
plication of the commercial imag-
ery used by the government. This
workshop is focused on the synergy
of high, medium and low resolution
imagery and remote sensing tech-
nologies used by the Government.
This workshop is sponsored by the
Joint Agency Commercial Imagery
Evaluation (JACIE) team, a collabo-
rative group of representatives from
NASA, NOAA, USDA, and USGS.
