The BTAA GIS Conference presented by the BTAA Geospatial Information Network
<https://geo.btaa.org> invites proposals for its fourth virtual GIS
conference <https://z.umn.edu/btaa-gis-conference>, taking place on Wednesday,
November 8th, 2023. The BTAA GIS Conference is intended to promote
conversation and collaboration between Big Ten researchers, educators, and
students who use geospatial information. It is open to all who wish to
attend, including GIS professionals and students who are outside of the Big
Ten Academic Alliance. <https://btaa.org/about/member-universities>



We seek submissions for presentations, lightning talks and a map gallery.
You do not need to be a member of a BTAA organization to present at the
conference. We encourage submissions from any discipline and topics that
use geospatial information in any format, including but not limited to:
agriculture and natural resources; geography; engineering; business; health
sciences; humanities; social sciences; GIS education; urban planning and
infrastructure; GIS methods; DEIA and social/environmental justice; and the
use of UAVs and GIS in academia. Presentations on applied GIS from campus
infrastructure and municipal projects are also encouraged.


The Keynote speaker is the Alan Turing Institute’s Katherine McDonough who
will speak about the Machines Reading Maps Project
