GIS in Transit Exhibit & Sponsorship Opportunities

 

URISA and the University of South Florida’s National Center for Transit Research at the Center for Urban Transportation Research (CUTR) are pleased to announce a new partnership to present the 2009 GIS in Transit Conference, taking place in St. Petersburg, Florida, November 16-18, 2009.

The Conference Committee has organized an educational program based upon the abstracts submitted through a Call for Participation. Abstracts were submitted within these general topic categories: Applications, Tools, Data, and Management & Policy.

Why should your company reserve a booth at the GIS in Transit Conference?

• GIS professionals will come to the conference to purchase, recommend and authorize purchases

• Exclusive opportunities to interact with attendees in the exhibit hall

• GIS professionals will flock to this conference to compare and contrast products and services on the exhibit floor

• Reinforce your company’s position, or introduce your presence, in the public health marketplace

• Strengthen your relationships with your current customers

• Meet and build relationships with prospective customers

• Establish business partnerships with other vendors

Most of the exhibit hours are dedicated hours, meaning there is no program conflicting with exhibit time. Attendees will not feel pressured to choose between educational sessions and making connections in the exhibit hall. And exhibitors will have time to attend sessions and network outside of the exhibit hall.
