HUNTSVILLE, Ala., August 2, 2004 - Intergraph Mapping and Geospatial Solutions and the Intergraph GeoSpatial Users Community (IGUC), sponsors of GeoSpatial World, today invited geospatial professionals to submit papers for the fifth annual conference. GeoSpatial World 2005, the IGUC international training and management conference, will be held at the Hilton San Francisco (California) April 26-28. The conference is the premier event for Intergraph customers and individuals interested in learning more about managing and applying geospatial information and solutions from an international perspective and features the latest information from customers, partners and Intergraph on merging geospatial technology with information technology and business process improvement tools to meet business-critical needs.

GeoSpatial World 2005 will build on the success of the past year's conference, which experienced record attendance. The format for the technical program will again feature tracks with specific themes, bringing focus to each of the presentations.
