Call for proposals
The BTAA GIS Conference presented by the BTAA Geospatial Information Network invites proposals for its fourth virtual 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.
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.
Proposals for Presentations and Lightning Talks are due by 5pm CST on Monday, October 9th, 2023.
Proposals for the map gallery (see submission guidelines) are due by 5 pm CST on Wednesday, November 1st, 2023.
Please mark your calendar for November 8th (Wednesday) to meet the GIS communities at Big Ten!
