Industry Trends Analysis Group Meeting

Geospatial Dimensions of the Intelligent Infrastructure
You're invited to participate in the 2010 Industry Trends Analysis Group (ITAG) Meeting, which plays a crucial role in GITA's strategic planning process. As the infrastructure becomes more intelligent, this year's meeting will explore the geospatial dimensions of intelligent infrastructure for Electric, Gas, Telecommunications, Water/wastewater, Public Sector, Transportation, and Pipeline vertical markets.

This complimentary meeting will take place during GITA's Geospatial Infrastructure Solutions Conference (April 25-29) on Monday, April 26, 2010, from 8:00-Noon at the Phoenix Convention Center. A continental breakfast and post-meeting luncheon will be provided. The luncheon will conclude in time to enable you to attend the Opening Session of the conference at 1:30 p.m. Visit the ITAG page of GITA's Web site to see the agenda and a list of resources.

As an ITAG Advisor, you'll explore the following questions:

· What is 'Intelligent Infrastructure' in your industry segment? (ie: Smart Grid, broadband, remote meter reading, etc.)

· What role can/does geospatial technology play in this/these area(s)?

· Is your organization working in this/these area(s)?

· How are your "Intelligent Infrastructure" applications in your industry segment linked to those in other segments?

· What are your challenges? What are your successes?

· How would you design an intelligent approach in your own organization that combines sensors and systems to improve efficiency?

For over ten years, GITA's Board of Directors has relied upon ITAG to be "the eyes and ears" of the association. ITAG provides individuals a strong voice in association programs and services and makes a significant contribution to GITA's strategic planning process. By contributing your expertise and ideas to those of your colleagues, you will have a say in where you think the association - and our industry - should be headed in the future.

Can't come to Phoenix this year? No worries - you don't need to attend this meeting to be an ITAG Advisor - we'll keep you plugged in to ITAG activities as they occur throughout the year. ITAG is intended to allow busy individuals to contribute via e-mail and listserves without a major time commitment.
