Workshop and presentation proposals invited for 2019 GIS/CAMA

URISA and the International Association of Assessing Officers (IAAO) are pleased to announce the 2019 GIS /CAMA Technologies Conference, February 25-28, 2019 in Portland, Oregon.

For more than twenty years, the organizations have hosted a conference that assists assessment and appraisal professionals in visualizing how they can work more effectively through the use of technology. This conference explores the important role that the integration of Geographic Information System (GIS) and Computer Assisted Mass Appraisal (CAMA) systems plays in providing access to data and analysis of information for better decision making within a jurisdiction. GIS/CAMA 2018 will feature an exhibition, pre-conference workshops, keynote speakers and a substantial educational program which is developed through a review of proposals received.
