From the blurb for GIS'90:
	GIS'90 will be the world's premier forestry GIS event of the 1990
	season.
	It will be your opportunity to join up to 1000 other professionals
	and managers from all over the world who share your interest in the
	effective use of geographic information systems in forestry and
	natural resource management.
	Over the last three years this GIS event has proven to be the best
	place for getting current, practical information, for meeting
	leading GIS experts and for exchanging ideas with fellow practitioners.

GIS'90 will be held in Vancouver, B.C. Canada, March 14-16, 1990 at the
Vancouver Trade and Convention Centre.  For an information package, 
contact:
	GIS'90
	Symposium Office
	134 Abbott Street
	Suite 303
	Vancouver B.C. Canada
	V6B 2K4
	Voice: 1 604 688 0188
	Fax: 1 604 682 2987

Anyone who is interested in submitting a paper should contact Paddy O'Reilly
at the Symposium Office ASAP.  For those who can't bear to use the telephone
or snail mail, send me some e-mail and I'll pass it on.

One last thing: I have to moderate two panel discussions at GIS'90.  One is
"Sharing the Data: Networking and Communications"; the other is
"GIS Hardware: Micros vs Workstations vs Mainframes".  The idea of these
panel discussions is that the three panellists will present their paper (about
20 minutes per paper), and the remaining half hour will be taken up by a
discussion between panellists and audience.  The papers are meant to be
case studies - either why something works or why it doesn't (ie, no
vaporware).  If anyone is particularly interested in presenting papers in
these topics, or has any valuable suggestions, please let me know via e-mail.

One last thing: for those who are interested but cannot attend, proceedings
can be ordered from the above address.

Thanks.
