URISA Certified Workshops are featured with both full and half-day offerings:

This year's conference is co-hosted by the New England Chapter of URISA ( NEURISA), bringing both enthusiasm and important educational content to the event.
 
Concurrent educational sessions cover topics ranging from ‘Storytelling and Effective GIS Communication’ and ‘Developing Organizational Best Practices' to ‘Business Intelligence Technologies’ and ‘Solving Mobile Mapping Challenges’. An important conversation about ‘Ethics in GIS’ and a focused session for ‘Women in GIS’ are also on the schedule.
