The Geospatial Information & Technology Association (GITA) recently announced the upcomming seminar - Geospatial 101, a live Webcast designed to introduce the concepts and applications of geospatial information technology to newcomers to the industry. The 1½-hour interactive program will cover the technology fundamentals as they relate to infrastructure, the key technological challenges to consider when implementing a geographic information system (GIS), and a step-by-step project implementation process that can ensure success.

Three industry leaders with decades of hands-on experience--Chuck Howard, President, Geographic Information Technology; Peter Batty, Vice President, Technology, Smallworld Systems, Inc.; and Dan Bowditch, Vice President, Westech Information Systems--will help you discover how this exciting technology can improve your bottom line while dramatically increasing efficiency.

· What can it do for me?
· How is it similar to and different from traditional IT?
· What steps do I need to follow in order to implement it?
