"This is what I have found by attending URISA.  The people are great and are willing to share their knowledge. This is a professional organization with a range of practitioners from newcomers to the technology to some of the "original" thought provokers. These conferences have helped me to form professional networks, as well as life-long personal friendships that span the globe. The URISA conferences provide me with an opportunity to step back from my day-to-day work and look at the big picture. They give me the chance to revitalize my creative energies and I return to my work brimming with new ideas and vision - refreshed, motivated, and with a whole new outlook!"
-Sandi Majewski, GISP, Crime Analyst, City of Las Vegas Metro Police Dept.
