The Carbon Project is proud to announce our sponsorship of the first Spatial and Situational Awareness Conference. The conference will be held at the prestigious Omni Shoreham hotel in Washington, DC on December 12, 2007.

The conference provides a forum to examine the role geospatial systems play in homeland security, crisis management and everyday first response. New approaches to improve situational awareness including mashups, geospatial platforms, peer-to-peer applications and web-based solutions will be highlighted in this unique forum.

Spatial and situational awareness is incredibly important in today’s information rich homeland security environment. We look forward to discussing how technologies like Virtual Earth, Spatial Data Infrastructures and Peer-to-Peer mashups can deliver situational awareness faster and at lower cost than traditional methods.

The conference welcomes both public and private organizations and enterprises to meet, discuss and learn about one of today’s most innovative technology areas in this exciting new forum.
