Since there is limited space for our next RIGIS UG meeting (because there is a really cool tour of their research facility in the morning), as soon as you are able to, please click on the link above to register.  Chris Akin (FM Global GIS manager) and I would really appreciate it if you could give a presentation on any of the topics listed below.  If you know of anyone who is doing something interesting with any of those topics, please either forward this email to them or send me and/or Chris their name (and contact info if you have it) and we will reach out to them.

 

This should be an awesome meeting.  We hope to see you there.
