Draft agenda, http://www.nsgic.org/events/2008_annual_agenda.xls
The conference will feature a wide-ranging discussion of issues of import to state GIS Coordinators, local and federal agencies, and their private-sector partners. Among the major subjects tentatively scheduled to be addressed are:
Progress on Imagery for the Nation
Improving addressing and transportation data
State/federal partnerships to manage hydrography data
Factors for better coordination with and among federal agencies
USGS "National Map" planning

Members of the NSGIC Corporate Leadership Council will offer panel discussions on subjects such as:
Handling the large volumes of data now available from digital sensors and LiDAR projects
Approaches to enterprise licensing of data and software
QBS and Best-Value contracting

NSGIC conferences are traditionally fast-paced and very active, with meetings starting early in the day and running well into the evenings. State and local GIS coordinators mingle with federal agency staff, sponsors and vendors in an open and friendly gathering at which as much is learned in the hallways as in the meeting rooms.
