Sponsorship Packages for the 2018 UCGIS Symposium and CaGIS AutoCarto

Frontiers in Geospatial Big Data is the theme for the 23rd annual gathering that UCGIS will hold at the Concourse Hotel in Madison, Wisconsin, from May 22 – 24, 2018. We will be together with CaGIS's AutoCarto for this memorable event.

Our Symposia are known for their high quality and informative sessions that provide top-notch information on matters important to the GIScience community. We offer unparalleled opportunities for professional and social networking within the most active community of GIScience scholars in U.S. higher education. Each year around 125 people attend our event, a size that is optimal for in-depth and productive conversations.  This year we anticipate record-high attendance as we are coordinating with our inaugural Summer School for graduate students and early-career scholars.  

If you are interested in being a Sponsor for the 2018 UCGIS Symposium / CaGIS AutoCarto, please contact Diana Sinton (dianasinton_at_ucgis.org) or Scott Freundschuh (cagisxd @ gmail.com)  A PDF of this information can be downloaded for sharing and distribution.
