TNGIC Conference – March 26-29 – Montgomery Bell State Park

Registration is OPEN for the TNGIC Conference March 26-29, 2012 at Montgomery Bell State Park.  Visit http://www.tngic.org for details.

This is a perfect time for the West TN GIS Users to get involved with TNGIC!!  It has been 6 years since TNGIC has been back in Middle Tennessee.  This is also the first time that TNGIC has held the annual conference west of Nashville!!  It is just over 1 1/2 hours from Jackson and just under 3 hours from Memphis.  We really want several presentations represented from West Tenneessee!  The Call for Papers is only open 8 more days!!  Let’s get West TN to the Conference in large numbers this year!!  Also, the Montgomery Bell State Park Inn is beginning to fill up.  So encourage those that want to stay on the property to register soon!  I’ll be sending the status of the Inn rooms to the entire group tomorrow or Monday and it will likely fill up.
