BCIT Geomatics Speaker series
Topic: GeoAutomation - Survey-Enabled Streetscape Imagery

This 1 hour presentation is free to attend. It is hosted by the Vancouver Branch of the Canadian Institute of Geomatics.

We invite speakers to make presentations to the Geomatics students. Over the last three years we did the presentations at lunch time and they were called Brown Bag Lunch presentations. Now with the afternoon time slot the program is called the BCIT Geomatics Speaker series.

If the topic is of interest please attend. It is free.

Also if you are interested in making a presentation at BCIT we will be looking for 4 more speakers for the next term starting January and ending in May 2011. Just let me know by email.
