The Society for Conservation GIS would like to invite you to its 15th Annual Conference, to be held July 19 – 22, 2012 at Asilomar Conference Grounds in Monterey, California. Check back for conference details around the end of 2011.
Made up of conservationists, geographers, scientists, students, managers, educators, and more, SCGIS is a diverse group of professionals dedicated to using GIS to achieve conservation goals. If you share similar interests and are willing to learn and share, please consider this the conference for you. And unlike other conferences where you are constantly hustled from one place to the next, you will be given time to talk to people; meals are shared, there are socials, and plenty of down time between sessions to ask questions and share experiences with fellow attendees.
Also unique to this conference is the
international scholars program. These scholars come from many different countries, including: Brazil, Cameroon, Indonesia/South-East Asia, Kenya, Latin America, Nepal, Russia, Philippines, Slovenia, South Africa (as a region), and Uganda. The scholars present on projects they are working on in their respective home countries, and it is enlightening to hear their unique perspectives on conservation issues.
