Topic:  GIS indoors, or more specifically, GeoMetri, which is used by businesses to understand how people move through their buildings.

Chris Bupp of Geographic Information Services, Inc. (GISi) will present on how GeoMetri allows users to compare and measure activity across different time periods or building areas as well as understand real-time traffic patterns for any space, at any time, in a cost-effective and highly accurate solution. GeoMetri operates using Wi-Fi technologies that analyze pedestrian foot traffic in venues like shopping malls, grocery stores, and other types of businesses. As visitors’ mobile devices search for wireless networks to communicate with, they give off “pings” at regular intervals. These bits of information (including signal strength) can be collected and anonymously aggregated for use in physical analytics. GeoMetri is an HTML 5 application compatible with desktop, tablet, or mobile devices. GISi received the Innovation Application award at the 2014 Esri Partner Conference. The award is given to a company with an original idea with local relevance and value while demonstrating a great design and user experience.

Chris Bupp is a Senior Application Developer and has been with GISi for over three years. He enjoys the challenge of solving big problems – the ones that others haven’t been able to work out. Chris is a leader in innovation and optimization . . . how to fix things and how to make things work faster.

Georgia URISA 2014 Conference

I was sitting around the other day and realized something – My most attended conference is this one I think. This will be my 5th one and I think that either edges out TNGIC or ties it. Which is sorta funny since I’m actually getting tired of conferences in general.

So Georgia URISA holds a conference every two years. This year (as in 2010) I’ll be representing Midsouth ASPRS and GA URISA. It’s a good conference and I don’t say that often. It’s statewide….and we’ve even had people coming down from Canada for this….so nationwide. I’m going, I’m teaching, and I’m presenting.

I’m actually teaching an OSM workshop. I wrote one for URISA which is getting quite a bit of traction. This one is a bit different in that I may have 40ish slides to cover the whole day. We’re going to work, map, and go out and see how OSM works. I’m going to try at the last part of the day to show how you can leverage this data in your GIS operations. I’ve got a complete dataset for the county where the conference will be held….and we will at the end of the day compare and contrast with OSM.

So from the email bag – please attend:

Georgia URISA, ASPRS Mid South, SAMSOG and GITA Southeast are joining together again for the Georgia Geospatial Conference of 2014 to be held October 6th-8th at the Classic Center in downtown Athens.

 

Participants are welcome from federal, state, local governments; academic; private sector; non-profit and international organizations.

 

If you are a practitioner, student, or otherwise interested, in the fields of geographic information systems or surveying, please make plans to attend the largest geospatial conference in Georgia.  For three days, you will have the chance to network with peers, share projects and ideas, and learn.  On October 6th, there will be pre-conference workshops.  On October 7th and 8th, you will hear from leaders in the GIS and Surveying fields with practitioners sharing papers and presentations.  On Tuesday night we will have a social.  On Tuesday, we are also having an afternoon session devoted to future leaders in the GIS field: students.
