GITA's Annual Conference XXIII Breaks All Attendance RecordsApril 13, 2000, Aurora, Colo.- Interest in geospatial information technology and its applications skyrocketed as a record-breaking 3,840 attendees flocked to the Geospatial Information & Technology Association's (GITA) Annual Conference XXIII, held March 26-29, 2000, at the Colorado Convention Center in Denver, Colo. The attendance figure represents a 29% increase over the previous year. Delegates from 45 nations, seeking the latest information on geospatial information technology, packed the convention center, filling the 80 educational session rooms and causing a first-ever sell-out of 20 of the 22 full- and half-day seminars. "It's incredible; better than we ever could have expected," said GITA Executive Director Bob Samborski. In addition to the high level of interest in the technical program, the product and services exhibition held in conjunction with the conference garnered high accolades. "At times, we could barely keep up with the number of people visiting our booth, said Alex Nikolajevich, director of sales, Safe Software Inc., Surrey, BC. "We've been very busy-the booth has been packed basically the entire time," added Ernest Berghof, marketing manager, Autodesk, San Rafael, CA. The phemomenal success of the conference illustrates the ascendance of GITA's Annual Conference as the premier geospatial information technology event in the U.S. Next year's conference will be held March 4-7, 2001, at the San Diego Convention Center in San Diego, California. The theme of the 2001 conference is 2001: A Geospatial Odyssey. More information on the conference can be found at the association's Web site, located at http://www.gita.org. The mission of the Geospatial Information & Technology Association (GITA) is to provide excellence in education and information exchange on the use and benefits of geospatial information and technology in telecommunications, infrastructure, and utility applications worldwide.
