Call for Speakers-Abstract Submission
Submission deadline: February 29 2012
We are looking for accomplished speakers willing to share their knowledge, experience and skills to a diverse group of delegates from across Canada. Delegates attending the conference will include people with communities, government agencies, industry, academics, consultants and people who want to make a difference.
Posters are an effective way of sharing cartographic work in progress, showcasing community involvement, and demonstrating experiments with new technologies. All student posters submitted to the competition will be displayed at the 2012 CPANS Spring Conference. We appreciate advance registration so we can reserve display space for your poster. However, posters should be brought to the conference.
There will be two winners which will be awarded $250 (first prize) and $100 (second prize). Two runner-ups will receive an honorable mention award. CPANS meeting attendees will vote on entries and the winners will be announced at the conference. Other non-cash award honorable mentions may be given at the discretion of the conference chair. Posters are to be no larger than 36" x 48".
