| Professional Education | |
| This year's program features over 80 presentations distributed among standard sessions in six tracks, extended more in-depth sessions, short sessions featuring a very specific topic, and less formal facilitated "birds of a feather" events. Collectively, and with the exhibit hall, these represent a tremendously efficient and intensive opportunity for learning about or catching up on this fast-moving industry | |

|
| Hands-On Opportunities - May 10 | |
| GPS receivers, ruggedized laptops, and other equipment will be demonstrated outside in small groups or one-on-one appointments. If you've ever wondered what using some of this equipment was really like, this is your chance to start finding out! | |

| State of the States Panel - May 10 | |
| The General Session on Day 2 will open with this always-informative update by each New England state's GIS Office Director. David Brotzman from the Vermont Center for Geographic Information (VCGI) is also a member of the board from the National States Geographic Information Council and he will provide an update on NSGIC's recent key initiatives and on-going activities. | |

|
| Exhibit Hall | |
| There is plenty of buzz in the vendor community about this event, so expect a packed exhibit hall where you can meet staff from and learn about the diverse products and services available from an array of national and regional companies. This year's event features extended time for the exhibit hall on both days of the conference. | |
