On May 22 2003, the British Columbia Chapter of the Urban and Regional Information Systems Association (URISA BC) hosted a breakfast seminar entitled:

Moving GIS into the Enterprise

Date: May 22 2003
Time: 8:30 am – 3:30 pm
Location: Ramada Plaza Conference Resort 10251 St. Edwards Drive, Richmond, BC

The purpose of the seminar was to explore how GIS applications are playing a role in both business and local government. This seminar explored the various aspects of integrating GIS into a corporation. Issues such as organizational structures, data models, software solutions, the usability of spatial applications and controlling digital data formats were presented in the morning. In the afternoon, a discussion panel of experienced processionals in the field of integration debated the hardware, software and people issues surrounding enterprise GIS.

By the resounding feedback we have received so far this event was successful in its purpose. We hope you gained some useful insight into what other users are doing with GIS and that you derived some value from attending, which you can in turn utilize in your workplace.
