South Florida GIS Expo
Come Celebrate our 17th Anniversary!!!!
The South Florida GIS Expo is an annual conference sponsored by the
Palm Beach
Countywide GIS Forum. The South Florida GIS Expo serves as a
way to foster collaboration, GIS coordination, networking, education and training
for the rapidly expanding professional GIS Community in the South Florida Region.
The 2010 South Florida GIS Expo represents our 17th year of organizing and facilitating
this regional GIS conference.
The 2009 South Florida GIS Expo was a huge success and had over six hundred registrations
from the public sector (federal, state, regional and local governments), private
companies, non-profit organizations and exhibitors.
Committee Volunteers
Did you know that the South Florida GIS Expo is run entirely by Volunteers. As this
event continues to grow regionally, our volunteer support has expanded to include
staff from two counties in this region, Palm Beach and Broward. We also get substantial
volunteer support from several municipalities and other government and private agencies
in the South Florida region.
This event could not happen without the South Florida GIS Expo Committee. The Expo
Committee is broken out into a number of various sub-committees that are chaired
by the volunteers. Following is a list of South Florida GIS Expo Sub-Committees
and their current members. If you are interested in being on the South Florida GIS
Expo Committee, please contact us at info@sfgisexpo.com. If you are interested in
volunteering for the two days of the conference, email
volunteers@sfgisexpo.com.
