URISA's Caribbean GIS Conference


The Urban and Regional Information Systems Association (URISA) has presented four conferences focused on the effective application of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and other information technologies within the Caribbean. Previous conferences have taken place in Jamaica (2001), Barbados (2004), the Bahamas (2006) and the Cayman Islands (2008).
2010 Conference Dates and Location Coming Soon

Objectives of URISA's Caribbean GIS Conference

  • To inform broad cross-section of Caribbean users about GIS technology and applications
  • To share experiences regarding GIS implementation and management issues
  • To establish new relationships with the vendor/consultant community
  • To provide workshops and sessions that are application driven, and are relevant to the Caribbean community of GIS users
  • To foster a Caribbean GIS network
  • To assess the state of readiness of national and regional Spatial Data Infrastructures

The Conference Program is developed through a Call for Presentations. Abstract submissions are reviewed and discussed by a group of volunteer committee members representing the Caribbean region and others with a keen interest in advancing technology solutions in the area. The conference includes a comprehensive Exposition and networking activities.
