Des Plaines, IL (December 10, 2013) – URISA is now accepting presentation proposals for GIS-Pro 2014: URISA's 52nd Annual Conference to be held in New Orleans, Louisiana, September 8-11, 2014. The focus of GIS-Pro 2014 is Leveraging Spatial Technology to Support Sustainable and Resilient Communities”.  Submissions are due on or before January 27, 2014.

Though proposals for complete sessions are encouraged (with detailed learning objectives), individual presentations, lightning talks, panel discussions and interactive session formats are also welcome.
