GEO-SIBERIA Exhibition and Conference in Novosibirsk

The Fifth International Exhibition and Scientific Congress in geodesy, cartography, geology, geophysics, land management, real property cadastre, GIS-technologies, forestry management, environmental monitoring.
“SIBMINING-2009” will be held along with the exhibition and the scientific congress “GEOSIBERIA-2009” on the 21-23 April.
21-23 APRIL 2009, NOVOSIBIRSK
Introduction of Geographic Information Systems, newest equipment and high qualified staff in all geo-industry is necessary to realize new state programs aimed on increase in sector of civil and industrial construction and environmental management regulation.
Siberian forum "GEO-Siberia" became the first project with a similar theme in Siberia Far East regions, combining International scientific congress and exhibition.
Siberian State Geodetic Academy acted as fully legitimate organizer of this event, this made it possible to present exhibition-congress scientific component remarkably, and also to attract Russian Academy of Science Siberian Branch profile institutes, Moscow State University of Geodesy and Cartography, Tomsk Polytechnic University and other institutions.
In 2004 after visit of Siberian Region's representatives to "INTERGEO" exhibition in Munich, "GEO-SIBERIA" exhibition received international support from "German Association of Publicly Appointed Surveyors", "German Cartographers Association" who are inspirers and organizers of world famous exhibition "INTERGEO".
Russian public organization "GIS-ASSOCIATION", understanding project importance, supported "GEO-Siberia".
The main task of this forum - to get acquainted with advanced experience; demonstration of modern means, methods and technologies of efficient environmental management and perspective regional investment projects; and also an opportunity to analyze real processes in this sector of the economy.
In experts' unanimous opinion "GEO-SIBERIA - 2008" was very successful. Numerous positive references about the exhibition prove its actuality and great importance.
World famous companies: Leica Geosystems AG (Switzerland), SOVZOND, SOVINFORMSPUTNIK, GEOKOSMOS, RAKURS, SCANEX, NAVGEOKOM, SIBGEOINFORM, Regional Cadastral Centre "ZEMLYA" and other Russian and foreign companies supported and participated in "GEO-Siberia-2008" exhibition-congress. Now annually, in the end of April the widest range of geo-industry experts from different cities of Russia have an opportunity to exchange information, experience, get acquainted with the newest equipment, methods, technologies demanded by time and life.
