"We endeavor to provide a comprehensive forum that allows geospatial professionals and educators experience the latest technology and innovations in ways that benefit their organization's processes and practices," said Arlen Reimnitz, Executive Administrator of the Intergraph GeoSpatial Users Community. "The Education Symposium is a natural extension to market-focused activities ranging from popular one-on-one exchanges with fellow users and Intergraph representatives to customer presentations. GeoSpatial World 2004 promises to deliver unprecedented content and value." Conference provides innovation exchange This year's conference will provide executives, managers and technicians with business and technical information on implementing interoperable solutions, solving technical problems, increasing productivity in the workplace and improving organizations' return on investment using geospatial data. Organized into seven industry tracks, more than 200 sessions addressing the latest topics, technology and user innovations will be held during the three-day conference. Among the sessions on innovative use of geospatial solutions are: -- "Photogrammetry: The Digital Workflow In print publishing, using the computer to lay out text and illustrations prior to creating film negatives for every page or going directly to plate.
