As a part of the Society for Conservation GIS, I am excited to invite everyone to the 2022 SCGIS Annual International Conference on July 6-8! (conference website, registration)
Please join us for this online conference, at a nominal fee, for three days of keynote speakers, presentations by the SCGIS community, and sessions on a wide range of conservation GIS topics. The theme of the conference is “Maps: The Stories We Tell.”
The conference will open with two inspiring keynote presentations by Jim Enote, Executive director of the Colorado Plateau Foundation and Dr. Travis Belote, Director of Research at The Wilderness Society. Each will share their approaches to what a map is and how they convey information about the land and community. Come share the stories you are telling through cartography and interactive mapping for conservation. We invite you to submit your maps to our virtual Map Gallery during the conference!
The conference will also offer 8 technical training workshops, from how to create ArcGIS StoryMaps to 50 years of Landsat: Advanced Earth Engine. The workshops will be held on July 5th and 9th for a fee of $40 per workshop. Please visit our conference website for more information about the conference.
To register, please visit our registration page* for the conference and share with your interested colleagues and your network.
