Hello everyone,=20

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!
Welcome to the 2nd Geographic Information System (GIS) Symposium at Troy =
University (TU). The success from the 1st Geographic Information System =
(GIS) Symposium held at Troy University (TU) has established a =
foundation forum where the discussion of ideas, concepts, and =
applications is a welcome approach for GIS developments in the =
south-eastern states of a America.

Note that the deadline for abstracts is 30th November, 2004

Kindly spread the word around about our 2nd GIS Symposium.

The GIS Symposium's organizing committee would like to invite you to be =
part of our annual event at the Geomatics Program, Troy University, =
Troy, AL.  We continue to strive for perfection by way of providing high =
quality workshops, technical sessions, exhibitions, and poster =
presentations.  The symposium will be held at the Trojan Center at TU =
and is scheduled for 10th and 11th May, 2005.  The theme for our 2nd GIS =
Symposium is "Sharing in GIS". The date for the symposium is 10th and =
11th May 2005.  The registration cost for the symposium is $50.

The organizing committee and the Geomatics Program continue with our =
vision of having a symposium which provides a neutral forum to have =
workshops, presentations by keynote speakers on specific GIS issues, =
paper presentations, poster presentations, and for the GIS professionals =
