Call for Proposals: 4th Annual Big Ten Academic Alliance (BTAA) GIS Conference
The BTAA GIS Conference, presented by the BTAA Geospatial Information Network, invites proposals for its fourth virtual GIS conference, taking place on Wednesday, November 8th, 2023. The BTAA GIS Conference is intended to promote conversation and collaboration between Big Ten researchers, educators, and students who use geospatial information. It is open to all who wish to attend, including GIS professionals and students who are inside or outside the Big Ten Academic Alliance. We specifically scheduled it to NOT conflict with the MSU GIS conference.
We seek submissions for Presentations, Lightning Talks and a Map Gallery. You do not need to be a member of a BTAA organization to present at the conference. We encourage submissions from any discipline and topics that use geospatial information in any format, including but not limited to: agriculture and natural resources; geography; engineering; business; health sciences; humanities; social sciences; GIS education; urban planning and infrastructure; GIS methods; DEIA and social/environmental justice; and the use of UAVs and GIS in academia. Presentations on applied GIS from campus infrastructure and municipal projects are also encouraged.
- Proposals for Presentations and Lightning Talks are due by 5pm CST on Monday, October 9th, 2023.
- Proposals for the map gallery (see submission guidelines) are due by 5 pm CST on Wednesday, November 1st, 2023.
- Registration link
- The Keynote speaker is the Turing Institute’s Katherine McDonough who will speak about the Machines Reading Maps Project.
Please mark your calendar for November 8th (Wednesday) to meet the GIS communities in the Big Ten!
