FORT-WORTH-2016/SUBMIT-ABSTRACTS
The 2016 meeting will add an outreach component called
“Frontier Day”. Each day of the traditional program will
focus on particular application areas, while each session
will address the applications from a different technical per-
spective (e.g. Lidar, Photogrammetry, etc.). Outreach will target new and potential
beneficiaries of geospatial technology and services that do not traditionally attend the
ASPRS meetings (business development for the benefit of our members), and STEM
educators and/or students (youth development for the benefit of society). Keynote
presentations will come from representatives of government, academic, and business
sectors. The high-level program for the annual meeting looks like this:
As you can see, each day is packed with relevant technical
activities, and the evenings have been mostly left open for
networking and business.

We are excited to welcome back
the JACIE Workshop to again
co-locate with our conference.
The intent of the JACIE workshop
is to exchange information regard-
ing the characterization and ap-
plication of the commercial imag-
ery used by the government. This
workshop is focused on the synergy
of high, medium and low resolution
imagery and remote sensing tech-
nologies used by the Government.
This workshop is sponsored by the
Joint Agency Commercial Imagery
Evaluation (JACIE) team, a collabo-
rative group of representatives from
NASA, NOAA, USDA, and USGS.
