An invitation to Sponsor ISDE7, WALIS Forum 2011 and the State nrm conference

Confirmed prices are quoted in Australian Dollars.

The Western Australian Land Information System (WALIS) brings you the International Society for Digital Earth (ISDE) 7^th Symposium incorporating WALIS Forum 2011 and the State NRM Conference.

Traditionally WALIS Forum, while open to everyone, is tailored to people working with geographic information systems (GIS) and those who would like to find out how they can harness GIS to improve their business.   However, with the ISDE focus, the opportunities for exhibition and sponsorship will be expanded tremendously.

The intention of the event is to provide opportunities for people within and associated with the industry to learn, network and identify potential solutions and to share and debate strategies for the future.

The State NRM Conference provides an excellent opportunity for those associated with the natural environment to gather information about current best practice in natural resource management.

Program

ISDE7, WALIS Forum 2011 and the State NRM Conference will provide an international perspective on the challenges, demands and opportunities currently facing the GIS industry and our natural environment.  With the continuing awareness of the use and functions of GIS around the world, the Conference promises to deliver updates on current activities, planned future activities and the latest and greatest in new developments across many sectors.

The program will cover a broad range of digital earth modelling and geographic information issues, providing delegates the opportunity to unearth their earth science and spatial potential.  The program will be divided into streams, with each segmented into key areas, such as Digital Earth Vision, Technologies and Applications; Earth Observation Technologies; Space and Satellite Technologies; Population Growth and Infrastructure Development; Adapting to Global and Climate Change; Empowering the Community; Managing Land and Water; Emergency Management and National Security; Digital City and Green Cities; Mining, Energy and Resources Development; Natural Resource Management (NRM) and Agriculture; and Innovation.

• International keynote speakers to inspire delegates, drawn from the industry and other relevant areas
• Respected local thinkers and practitioners
• A range of key stakeholders to stimulate and challenge.

The program and venue have been planned to ensure that your organisation and its products and services will receive maximum exposure throughout the event.  With many successful WALIS Forums under our belt, we have the experience required to ensure your value for money is received.

We anticipate well in excess of 1000 delegates so please take this opportunity to promote your brand.
