On behalf of ASPRS Cascadia Region and Oregon URISA, we are happy to welcome you to the 30th annual GIS in Action conference!

The GIS in Action conference features 7 tracks and nearly 50 presentations from local and national professionals to inspire dialog and enhance your knowledge with real world applications of geospatial technology. The conference provides a very economical way for all of us to improve our technical skills and learn about the latest software enhancements.

The conference is also a great way to connect with our peers and share successes and opportunities that we can carry back to improve our organizations. We are fortunate to have a strong professional community in Oregon and Washington, and please use this conference to share, reconnect, and make new friends!
Finally, we would like to thank the GIS in Action committee for developing a great conference agenda, Portland State University for hosting, and our sponsors for supporting us.

Upgrading GIS applications is easy. All you have to do is download a few programs, install them, tweak a few settings and, bingo, you have the latest and greatest capabilities in place for you and your users. Maybe you have to hand over some money too, but, really, how hard can it be? In this collaboration session, you'll have the opportunity to help your fellow GIS professionals deal with the reality of keeping applications up to date. Of course, that reality can vary widely depending on your situation and the scope of your GIS operations and there's never a one-size-fits-all solution. Recognizing, therefore, that upgrading GIS applications can typically be something of an art, four GIS professionals from Washington State will do their best to provide a guide to considerations for upgrading applications, according to their experience in small and medium-size cities, in private industry, and in the consulting world.
