With the country embroiled in policy debates on the direction of the U.S. healthcare system, ESRI's Health GIS conference was particularly timely and its theme of "Improving Our Health with GIS" was right on the mark. More than 200 healthcare professionals gathered in Nashville last week to learn about the latest tools and technology to support better planning and management for the future of healthcare.


The GEOINT 2009 Symposium delivers four days of insightful keynote speakers, important panel discussions and interesting breakouts as well as myriad networking opportunities and exhibits. Building on the dialogue from the past five years, GEOINT 2009 will break new ground as it pulls threads from its theme "Build the Community. Accelerate Innovation. Advance the Tradecraft."
