It seems that this time of year all of our regional workshops and conferences kick into gear giving GIS professionals the opportunity to show all of the great projects and techniques they have worked on over the past year and bring everyone together to create those highly valuable networking opportunities.
This past week the 5th Annual CFGIS workshop was held in Daytona Beach, FL. It was well attended and gave GIS users the opportunity to learn new skills, learn from their peers, and enhance their network of GIS professionals. This was the first of many workshops and conferences that will be coming to Florida this year. Presentations from the CFGIS Workshop will be available soon on the workshop's website.

The next regional conference, the South Florida GIS Expo will be held on October 6th & 7th at the Palm Beach Convention Center. Registration is free and attendance is highly encouraged, click here for more information.
For the north Florida GIS users, the Seven Hills Regional Users Group (SHRUG) workshop will be held November 9th and 10th in Tallahassee, FL. Click here to learn more.
Other conferences such as GIS in Transit held in St. Petersburg, FL last week as well as the 25th annual FACM conference to be held in Bonita Springs, FL next month are great examples of how actively Florida associations are making available educational opportunities for the state GIS community.
FLURISA the Florida chapter of URISA is actively working to bring many great things to the GIS community. Included in this effort, FLURISA members have been contributing at each of the conferences with presentations and holding special meetings to make the GIS community even stronger. If you are not yet a member, click here. Registration is free for the next year and you don't want to miss all of the great things that will be coming for members only!!!
Hopefully, each of us throughout the Florida GIS community will be able to take advantage of one or more of these great opportunities. Stay tuned for all of the great things still to come!!!
