AAG 2009 Conference

I was in Las Vegas for the annual Association of American Geographers' conference. Boy, the conference was great; I learned quite a bit from the conference. However, the sheer number of presentations in this conference makes it impossible to attend all the interesting presentations. Also, I really dislike (yes, dislike) Las Vegas as a conference venue. Whoever thought that we can walk through smoke-filled casinos with drunks and their margarita bongs, and proceed to the conference halls for intellectual conversations!!

I participated in a panel discussion on Open Source GIS and I also gave a presentation about the research I am working on. I just found today that somebody took our picture while at the panel discussion. Here it is...


Anyhow, post-conference, we drove to the Grand Canyon's South Rim. Boy, was it wonderful or WHAT! I will reserve that topic for another blog post. We also traveled to Tucson, AZ to see a couple of friends of mine. It was total fun.
