NACIS: Annual Meeting

NACIS 2010

Annual Meeting

St. Petersburg, Florida
October 13-15

OPENING KEYNOTE
Eric W. Sanderson, Ph.D.
The Mannahatta Project

"Armed with an 18th-century map, a GPS and reams of data, Eric Sanderson has re-plotted the Manhattan of 1609, just in time for New York's quadricentennial."

Eric W. Sanderson is a Senior Conservation Ecologist at the Wildlife Conservation Society. His work has been featured in the New York Times, National Geographic Magazine, CNN, NPR, and The New Yorker. He is also the director of The "Mannahatta Project", an effort to reconstruct the original ecology of Manhattan Island at the time of European discovery in the early seventeenth century.

"Before becoming the center of the Western cultural universe, Manhattan was Mannahatta, 'Island of many hills,' in the language of 17th-century Native Americans. Using computer modeling, painstaking research and a lot of legwork, Sanderson has re-envisioned, block by block, the ecology of Manhattan as it was when Henry Hudson first sailed into the forested harbor in 1609. The project's astonishing visualizations are realized by computer-graphics wizard Markley Boyer, and encompasses a book, a website and a 3-D map - designed to inspire ecological sustainability for New York and for other cities."

- TED Global July 2009

Join mapmakers, map users, map librarians, and map enthusiasts in St. Petersburg, Florida this October to talk about the thing we love - maps! You'll find NACIS a great place to share research, recent projects, and expertise with colleagues from around the nation, the continent, and the world. The meeting will be held at the beautiful Hilton St. Petersburg Bayfront.

A note on flying into St. Pete, from our host: There are three airports into the Tampa/St. Pete area.

3. Sarasota-Bradenton International (SRQ): Fewer flights than TPA, but more than PIE, it is further away than the other two.

Getting to the hotel from the airport: Super Shuttle, fares very by airport. Fares vary by airport, roundtrip from/to TPA is about $50.
