On behalf of the Organizing Committee, I am pleased to invite you to participate in the Third National GIS Symposium and Exhibition in Saudi Arabia, which will be held next week in Le Meridian Hotel at Al-Khobar City, during the period April 7 – 9, 2008 (Rabi II, 1 – 3, 1429). Featuring  4 pre-symposium workshops, 5 distinguished keynote speakers, 7 technical sessions, and a state-of-the-art exhibit, the symposium will bring all stakeholders in the geospatial domain – academia, researchers, students, and the industry – onto one platform for interaction, sharing and discussion on various topics such as collaboration on spatial technology and experiences gained. The symposium is intended to encourage the exchange of knowledge and experience in geospatial sciences among researchers, practitioners, and professionals within the country and abroad.

For further details about the symposium, pre-symposium workshops, and its accompanying exhibit, please check the symposium website at www.saudiGIS.org.   Looking forward for your active participation in this event.
