The theme of the URISA-OC Winter event is Business Intelligence, presenting smarter information. Come and hear how your colleagues have focused on the need to manage various interrelated information infrastructures to make well-informed, accurate decisions, and the need for integration with GIS technology.

Presentations include business intelligence solutions that present smarter geospatial information enabling users in multiple jurisdictions and overlapping levels of government (provincial, regional, and local) to act collaboratively. Presentations will show solutions for bringing information together and presenting it appropriately to everyone; promoting GIS use to decision makers; better ways to visualize change spatially and temporally; and managing interdependent information infrastructures.
