The GSDI Association (GSDI) provides an unusually comprehensive listing of global and regional conferences, symposiums, workshops, and gatherings. The calendar is one way GSDI supports information flow and coordination between organizations. The calendar takes a broad thematic view, covering a range of topics related to spatial data infrastructure, such as spatial data management, crowdsourcing and visualization, open data policy, business & funding models, research cyberinfrastructure, and RS/GIS applications.
GSDI maintains a round-up of 'live' webinars of interest to the geospatial community. No travel budget? No problem. Hear from colleagues without leaving your desk. The webinars are a great solution for getting the latest information on projects, tools, research, and issues relevant to spatial data infrastructure. For the most part, the webinars are free.
