The GIS in the Rockies Conference Planning Committee is inviting Colorado K-12 (formal and informal) educators and non-profits with education outreach programs to spend an afternoon learning about Geospatial Technologies on Thursday Sept 22nd at the DU Cable Center in Denver.  A limited number of high school students will be allowed to attend with their teachers.  This is an excellent one stop way to learn about the many different Geospatial Technologies being used along the Colorado Front Range.  You could even meet a mentor for your own program!    

K12 complimentary registration will include the second day keynote, any technical sessions after the keynote, the exhibit hall, and the Career Development Academy roundtable discussions, mock interviews, and mezzanine booths that will have information geared towards career development.  Please review the agenda here.

To register for the K-12 complimentary registration for the afternoon of Day 2 (Thursday Sept 22nd) please register through the registration site, select Regular Attendee as the registration type and select Thursday only registration.  Near the end of the process, please enter the discount code K12Comp to bring the total due down to zero.  The registration website can be found here.

The Complimentary registration covered by the K12Comp discount code starts at 1:00pm on Day 2 (Thursday).  Please check in with registration between 12:30 and 12:55 on Thursday, Sept. 22nd.

Are you interested in attending the entire conference or just the entire day on Sept 22nd?
Anyone in K-12 is welcome to attend for the entire day on Thursday, Sept 22, 2016 at the student rate of $35/day.  This includes everything offered on Day 2 – Advanced OpenStreetMap mini workshop, exploring the National Geographic’s Giant Map of Colorado, GNSS Scavenger hunt put on by CompassTools, The National Map Corps Map-a-Thon, second day keynote, CDA, and technical sessions.  $35 is an awesome deal!
