The primary goal of our group is to bring together experts and enthusiasts in the field of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) from across Latin America. Our main focus is to host an annual event that highlights research and advancements in both GIS and education. This event attracts participants from academia, industry, and government agencies.
Moreover, our aim is to promote collaboration by forming partnerships with universities, government bodies, and industry stakeholders to create joint programs. We also facilitate meetings and discussion groups to collaborate on a wide range of topics.
This year marks the 5th edition of our conference, featuring speakers and panelists from the USA, China, France, Colombia, Ecuador, and Mexico, as well as various organizations and government institutions, including Mexico's INEGI.The purpose of the group is to bring together specialists and interested in the GIS area in Latin America mainly, to have an annual event to present works and advances related to geographic information systems, both from research communities and industry and government. Also, participate and define collaborative programs in conjunction with universities, government entities, and industry. In addition, have meetings and discussion groups to collaborate on issues such as projects, theses and stays in several institutions, participation in the call, funding and other support modalities. For example, this year organizes this initiative through the Space Intelligence Workshop, where we contact speakers from various institutions.
