announces record-breaking full-conference attendance at its Ninth Annual GIS for Oil and Gas Conference,
held September 18-20, 2000 in Houston, Texas. While the total attendance of 548 dropped slightly from
last year due primarily to fewer exhibitor booth personnel, first-time and full-conference attendance
increased substantially over 1999-up 51% and 29% respectively. GITA’s Executive Director, Bob
Samborski said, “The boost in attendance this year indicates increasing interest on the benefits of geospatial
information technology on the part of oil and gas professionals.”
The two-and-a-half-day conference included in-depth introductory and advanced workshops, a 20
educational sessions in two concurrent tracks, and 39 exhibitors showcasing the latest advances in GIS
hardware, software, and services designed for use within the industry. Oil and gas company representatives
and GIS experts shared their knowledge and experience in implementing GIS-related technology.
Presentations focused on practical applications of GIS in day-to-day operations, the essential system
components, and using this information in making cost-effective business solutions.
The conference is the only one of its kind-devoted exclusively to applications and technologies for the oil
and gas industry. The 2001 conference will be held September 17-19 at the JW Marriott Hotel in Houston,
