As we mentioned some months back, LizardTech has been involved with the GeoWeb conference series for a number of years.  Our own mpg is on the program committee again this year and has asked me to remind you that GeoWeb 2009 is only a couple short weeks away.

There is a special focus this year on the intersection of GIS with the urban modeling and building design communities.  As the past few posts on this blog have shown (here, here and here), LizardTech is now a player in the LiDAR and 3D GIS space so we’re excited to see more people learning about and working on this “industry convergence”.

On the first day of the conference, mpg will also be part of team presenting a workshop informally titled “GeoWeb 101“:

“Do you have a clear understanding of the GeoWeb? Do you know where it is headed? Can you see business opportunities? Do you see it impacting the delivery of government services? What is the GeoWeb anyway? Is it more than Virtual Globes? What standards and technologies does GeoWeb include ? How does BIM fit in? What is the connection between SDI and the GeoWeb? What is new about neogeography? Everything to always wanted to know about the GeoWeb but were afraid to ask, GeoWeb 101 is the perfect introduction to GeoWeb 2009 – Cityscapes. The course will be taught by leading experts in the field, including Ron Lake (Galdos), Carl Reed (OGC) and Michael Gerlek (Lizardtech).”

Consider joining us at this annual event in sunny Vancouver, British Columbia and be sure and say hello.
