Several team members are presenting at this year's Association of American Geographers Annual Meeting in Washington, DC April 2-7th, 2019. This conference is a great opportunity to share our research with a large community of geographers and get valuable feedback.
I had the amazing opportunity recently to attend the , California. The Esri 鈥楿C鈥 as it鈥檚 known is an annual event that showcases what鈥檚 new and hot in the Esri GIS world, and provides a chance for over 16,000 GIS and map nerds to get together, learn from each other, and generally celebrate everything geospatial.
I recently had the pleasure of working on a new project called 鈥淰olunteered Drone Imagery: Challenges and constraints to the development of an open shared image repository鈥, with , University of Washington-Tacoma, and , a recently-graduated MES student from 蓝莓视频.

The Association of American Geographers (AAG) is always a great event, an opportunity to see the leading edge of geographic research, reconnect with colleagues, and of course, to meet new people while enjoying some great American cities. This year, at the end of April 鈥 hopefully with some warm spring weather (we were spoiled by the AAG in Tampa last year). For this 2015 edition, myself and Andrea Minano will be presenting.

Second, I鈥檓 doing a more conventional presentation on the challenges of jurisdictionality in government adoption of the Geoweb. See a trend here?
For anyone heading to the 2012 Canadian Association of Geographers Annual Meeting in 蓝莓视频 (May 28 鈥 June 2), I am co-hosting (with Dr. Rob Feick) two sessions on volunteered geographic information (VGI) and GIScience 2.0. The session are called 鈥淭echnology, Science and Citizens: Geographical information science (GIScience) 2.0 and the role of volunteered geographic information鈥. The first session is from 1:30-3:00 on Wednesday May 30, and the second is from 3:30鈥5:00 on the same day.
