Please mark your calendars!

We are excited to share that the 2012 CFTA conference is to be held the first full week in August in Indianapolis, Indiana at our IUPUI campus (Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis). The conference will begin on Tuesday, August 7th and end at noon on Thursday, August 9^th. Pre-conference hands-on training in Revit and GIS will be offered on Monday, August 6th (sign up for classes during registration). Details are still being worked out with Clyne Curtis on the Revit training and announced soon. For the GIS pre-conference training, Esri will offer a day-long pre-conference hands-on training event titled, “GIS mapping on your campus and in your buildings.” The day will explore campus basemap construction, interior space and exterior feature mapping, web app development, and other resources to help you integrate GIS across your campus. During the main conference Esri also will have a “Dr’s Office” to assist CFTA attendees with specific GIS integration/use issues via informal discussion.  

Please join us in Indy this August!
