After many months of research with the Canadian Geo community, I would like to welcome you to WBR’s inaugural Geospatial Advancement Canada Summit, taking place 3-5 March, at the Ottawa Convention Centre, Ontario, Canada.
This educational seminar will bring together leaders and managers of geospatial intelligence, remote sensing, GIS data & mapping, satellite imagery and analysis within the military, governmental, and geo intelligence sectors. The aim will be to discuss the full range of geospatial concepts and ideas that addresses the unique requirements in Canada.
The agenda is now complete. You can
