Topic: Vancouver GIS Users' Group May 2009 Show-and-Tell

Our annual networking event is coming up soon! This is a great opportunity to showcase your recent projects, learn about your colleagues' work, and catch up with friends and meet new ones in a casual, friendly environment.

You are invited to present your projects in a variety of ways: a poster, a map you made earlier this year, leaflets from a recent public information campaign, printouts from a web site, a sideshow on your laptop....

Anything you can think of that will catch people's attention and help start a conversation about your work. It doesn't need to be fancy, it's okay if it only took you ten minutes to assemble, and it doesn't matter if you already presented it elsewhere (but please credit the original event, if that's the case). Please, we request that presentations are project-based rather than vendor presentations -- there are other forums for those.

The Show-And-Tell will take place 5:30 PM Wednesday, May 13 in the Dunsmuir Auditorium, BC Hydro office tower, 333 Dunsmuir Street. There will be wall space and tables. There may be one or two internet connection(s), which can be reserved.

Posters/show-and-tell items confirmed so far for this year include:

• Alicia Newbury -Grassland Classification from Satellite and Field Data
• Sephy Friedman
• Josephine Clark
• Jen Austin, Kyle Ference

Contact Doug Hrynyk (Doug.Hrynyk@pc.gc.ca) to inquire about submitting a poster.
