<p class="MsoNormal">Participate in the 32nd Annual Northwest GIS User Group Conference in Boise, Idaho, by sharing a poster, giving a presentation or showcasing an application. Presentations typically consist of a 20 – 25 min talk, but if you don’t want to
give a full-length presentation, consider a 5 minute lightning talk instead. <o:p>
</o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Do you have an application or poster that you want to share?
<span lang="EN">The annual map (including story maps) and app contest is a great way to show off your work and to make contacts with attendees who have similar interests. The event will follow both a traditional format with participants displaying a map or
poster in the gallery for attendees to view and also a new approach of allowing folks with web, mobile apps and story maps to show off their work.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We have ample opportunities for you to share your knowledge with your colleagues from the Pacific Northwest. More information and a link to the submission page is at
