The only conference where GIS professionals, addressing coordinators, 9-1-1 and emergency response specialists come together for education and networking.
Conference History
This conference has evolved from URISA's Street Smart and Address Savvy Conference (held from 1999 to 2005):
- 1999: San Antonio, TX
- 2000: Baltimore, MD
- 2001: Milwaukee, WI
- 2002: Portland, OR
- 2003: Providence, RI
- 2004: St Louis, MO
- 2005: Austin, TX
In 2006 and 2007, the National Emergency Number Association (NENA) joined URISA as a full partner in this educational program and the conference was re-named to the Geospatial Integration for Public Safety Conference (GIPSC). GIPSC brought together GIS professionals, addressing coordinators, 9-1-1 and emergency response specialists to one place for opportunities in networking and learning.
- 2006: Nashville, TN
- 2007: New Orleans, LA
Following the 2007 conference, there was much discussion about bringing a bit more of the addressing focus back to the conference while continuing to bring the qualities of the GIPSC event to the program. The conference was renamed and refocused and is now presented as the URISA/NENA Addressing Conference:
- 2008: Portland, OR
- 2009: Providence, RI
The conference is developed through abstracts submitted through a Call for Presentations. An exposition and networking events are important features of this annual conference.
