3 GEOSPATIAL EVENTS COMBINE TO
FORM GEO WEEK JAN 25-31, 2019
I
NTERNATIONAL LIDAR MAPPING FORUM (ILMF),
ASPRS ANNUAL CONFERENCE, AND MAPPS WINTER
CONFERENCE come together to form
2019”
taking place January 25-31 in Denver.
Previously, these three
events took place separate-
ly throughout the year. By
uniting these three events
for the first time, geospatial
professionals will be able to accomplish a year’s worth of geospatial business in just
one week.
Lisa Murray, Group Director for Diversified Communications, expressed her excite-
ment about the opportunity. “For years the geospatial community has asked us to col-
laborate with other events to bring industry members together for a powerful combi-
nation of education, technology innovation, and commercial exchange. In 2018 we took
a giant step forward with the successful co-location between ILMF and the ASPRS
Annual Conference. With the addition of MAPPS in 2019, Geo Week is the next step
in the evolution toward a cohesive, vendor-neutral event for the entire geospatial com-
munity.”
Karen Schuckman, Program Manager for ASPRS, expressed her excitement about
the collaboration. “ASPRS is thrilled to be a founding partner, along with ILMF and
MAPPS, of Geo Week. Over the past decade, we have seen more and more fragmenta-
tion in our industry in terms of conferences and events. the opportunity to come togeth-
er in one place over one week restores the power of networking between newcomers
and seasoned experts and between practitioners in many related disciplines. Geo Week
promises to become the geospatial event of the year for those who are most passionate
about mapping and remote sensing in all forms: space-based, airborne, and UAS.”
Brian Raber, President of MAPPS, added: “On behalf of the Board of Directors and
industry leading firms of MAPPS, I am very excited to be an integral part of Geo
Week. Co-locating our annual Winter Conference with ASPRS and ILMF clearly
demonstrates that the new direction of MAPPS embraces creating unity in the geo-
spatial community”. He continues, “The value proposition for attending Geo Week to
the private, government and academic sectors is overwhelming by offering compli-
mentary programs benefiting everyone.
Each of the three events will retain the distinct educational programs their respec-
tive attendees have come to rely upon for industry news and information as well
as career development. Various conference pass options will be available to allow
attendees to take part in any or all programing and activities. For more information
