The 2008 Alaska Surveying and Mapping Conference is coming up at the end of February!

Back in Anchorage after a great show in Fairbanks, we're moving to the Sheraton and have put together an excellent program.

Of greatest significance is the change to a full 5-day conference. To fill in all that extra time, we've added a panel to discuss ANCSA issues, expanded to 15 short courses, put together an excellent GIS Jam schedule and technical session program, and organized several optional tours.

IMPORTANT CHANGE: Mike Londe's course on Wednesday, "Considerations in Setting up a GPS Reference Station" has changed from a full day (8am-5pm) to a half day (8am to 12pm).
ADDITIONAL CLASS
Journeyman Geodesy
- Wednesday, Feb 27 | 1pm-5pm
- Instructor: Mike Londe

Efficient and accurate use of GPS and GIS require a basic knowledge of geodesy. However the users of these tools can become overwhelmed when trying to make sense of all of the different realizations of WGS84 or ITRF or NAD 83 datums. These datums are typically referenced to a particular epoch and date. There are differences between these datums and their realizations but are these differences critical?
