CIS²E 07
3-12 Dec 2007
CIS²E 2007 is the third conference of the CISSE (Computer, Information and Systems Sciences and Engineering) series of e-conferences organised by the International Joint Conferences on Computer, Information, and Systems Sciences, and Engineering. It provides a virtual forum for presentation and discussion of the state-of the-art research on computers, information and systems sciences and engineering.

Geos 2007
29-30 Nov 2007, Centro de Investigacion en Computacion, Mexico City, Mexico
A forum for the exchange of state-of-the-art research results in the areas of modeling and processing of geospatial semantics. Geospatial semantics play an important role for next-generation spatial databases and geographic information systems, as well as specialized geospatial web services. This conference will bring together researchers whose expertise will address such issues as: * Theories for geospatial semantic information * Formal representations for geospatial data * Models and languages for geoontologies * Alignment and integration of geoontologies * Integration of semantics into spatial query processing * Similarity comparisons of spatial datasets * Ontology-based spatial information retrieval * Ontology-driven GIS * Geospatial Semantic Web * Multicultural aspects of spatial knowledge.

The first call for papers is for submission by 15 June 2007.

UNIGIS International Meeting
09-11 Nov 2007, Amsterdam, Netherlands

Map Africa
29-30 Oct 2007, The Southern Sun Cape Sun hotel, Cape Town, SA
The theme of Map Africa 2007 is 'Geospatial Capacity Building', which is closely linked to the expansion of economic activities for achieving economic and social transformation in the African region. The theme seeks to address the critical issues behind the integration of geospatial capability into the developmental goals of the African nations.

International GIS Crime Mapping
25-26 Sept 2007, Radisson SAS Royal Hotel, Brussels, Belgium
Sixteen international GIS experts will be sharing their knowledge and expertise on how to improve and expand your GIS repertoire in order to:

• Reduce Crime
• Improve responses to crime and incident problems
• Reduce fear of crime

This event will be presented in English.

AGI 2007
19-20 Sept 2007, Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire, UK
For the first time AGI2007 will be a residential conference designed to bring together practitioners, academics, policy makers and suppliers with thought leaders from the UK and overseas.  The conference will provide an opportunity for its participants to learn from their peers, train and debate policy and technology issues, plus build relationships through networking.  The theme of the conference will be 'Building a GeoCommunity'.

Intergraph 2007
21-24 May 2007, Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center,
Nashville, Music City Tennessee, USA.

GeoTec Event 2007
14-17 May 2007, Calgary Telus Convention Centre, Alberta, Canada

The declarative conference theme, “Visualization Energizes Action,” remarks on the effect of geospatial technology's adoption in an organization. "Visualization" highlights a planned 3-D Symposium, and speaks to the overall role of geospatial technologies as a tool for decision support. "Energizes" provides an active voice to the theme and relates to the prominent energy sector in Calgary that will be highlighted in the program. It also relates to the energizing effect of a well-run conference. The right actions should result from well-represented data, and it is our hope that all attendees take away materials and ideas from the event that result in action within your own organization.
