FIG Working Week 2008 – 14–19 June in Stockholm

Latest update on the FIG Working Week 2008 – 14–19 June in Stockholm, Sweden

See detailed programme for the FIG Working Week 2008 here(pdf 1.8 Mb):

www.fig.net/figww2008/FIG%20WW%20Programme080324.pdf

The first Draft Technical Programme for the Working Week will be available at www.fig.net and at the conference website www.fig.net/fig2008 shortly

Due to the very big amount of abstracts submitted to the upcoming FIG Working Week in June, we are still working on the Technical Programme to accommodate as many papers as ever possible. It is not an easy task and we have had to let some authors down. A few authors are still waiting for a response from us but be assured that the reason is that we want to give a positive answer to most of those who have submitted abstracts and want to present their work in Stockholm.

For the same reason we have extended the deadlines for submission of full papers and for registration as you can see here: http://www.fig.net/fig2008/messages.htm

To register for this important FIG event please go to

https://www.fig.net/registrations/regform.asp?eventid=50

You can still and until 4 April register at the early bird discounted registration fee of SEK 4,900. Please note that registration after 1 May is at increased fees. For some of the social events on the registration form there are limitations on the number of participants so the earlier you register the better are the chances that you can participate.

When you register please also book your accommodation directly with one of the hotels with whom we have negotiated special rates. Go to the website at www.fig.net/fig2008 and find booking forms for all hotels under “accommodation”.

Exhibition

As always at FIG Working Weeks an exhibition will be organized. This will include up to date displays from manufacturers with their current range of instruments and software, consulting companies, displays on land management, real estate and property management and valuation.

Any company or organization requiring further information about the possibility of having a display should contact the FIG at fig@fig.net or alternatively take direct contact to the local organizers at bjorn.hedlund@jm.se
Opportunities for Exhibitors and Sponsors

FIG and SLF (the local organizers) are also offering a package of opportunities for exhibitors and sponsors. If you want to take advantage of one or more of these opportunities, please contact either the FIG Office at fig@fig.net or SLF (the local organizers of the Working Week in Stockholm at bjorn.hedlund@jm.se

This Month's Burning Issue...
Each month we select a hot topic and a leading figure in the industry to write about it.
This month's burning issue:

What message are we sending to senior level decision makers about the importance and value of Spatial Data Infrastructure - SDI - if we keep misrepresenting what SDI is or is all about?

In previous editorials in this magazine I have touched on various SDI issues, especially now that the pan-European SDI has achieved a legally mandated status within the European Union's 27 Member States. Yet I fear that the Geographic Information community - or communities, for there are many - continue to… More…
