WGISS 2011 - The World GIS Summit Congress and Exhibition

Today as all of you aware of that Geographical Information Systems (GIS) are big challenges in all aspects of the geo-information progression, from data assembly, analysis and dissemination. It plays great roles in allowing governments, local communities, non-government organizations, the commercial sector, the academic community and common people to make progress in addressing many of the worlds most pressing problems. GIS technologies have ability to support human lifetime in a better way. But failures are still exist. Is GIS really being used well and changed our social, economic and cultural creations and future of our world so far? So we have to think globally about GIS for our common life, common world and common future…

We think, now it is the time to make a worldwide road map for GIS itself… For the first time ever, this summit will bring together politicians, scientists, investors, data providers and users dealing with geo-information from all over the world to share their ideas. It is the just time for GIS people to get together worldwide to make a common geo-information announcement for all.

Thoughts that related to any aspects of GIS proper for geo-information management are welcome. Presentations should focus on the national/international policies, standards, methodologies, tools, and any developments involved with GIS technology. The call is also open for contributions that cover geo-information functions in any phase, intersection of phases, and/or integration of phases of Geomatics, Planning, Land Management, Spatial Information, Networking, Data Standards, and GIS training.

So, you are cordially invited to participate “The World GIS Summit” Congress and Exhibition to be held October 10-15, 2011 in Istanbul, Turkey. The event will cover all details in GIS fields and aims to bring together GIS specialists all over the World. A special GIS Summit section will be held firstly with the contribution of authority delegates of the world-nations to make a global declaration on geo-information sources. Please do not miss this great world action and unique moment to meet with the GIS individuals in Istanbul, Turkey.
