Annual Conference & Exposition
URISA's 47th Annual Conference & Exposition
September 29 - October 2, 2009
Anaheim Marriott
"In this day and age of tight budgets and numerous choices of conferences to attend, why choose URISA? I can tell you why I choose URISA - because of the people, because of the networking opportunities, because of the new ideas that I learn about - in the sessions, in the exhibit area, and in the hallways!
-
Have you ever attended a conference where the ideas that are presented are new, from different parts of the world, and from people who have dealt with situations similar to those you are facing now?
-
Have you ever attended a conference where you have met someone with a great project and then when you got home, you could actually pick up the phone and call them and find out more information, AND they were happy to help you out?
