The Geospatial Information & Technology Association (GITA) announced this week the addition of a job fair to Annual Conference 29, slated for April 23-26, 2006, at the Tampa Convention Center in Tampa, Florida.
GITA’s goal is to give veteran GIS professionals as well as newcomers to the field a place to meet with recruiters from a variety of geospatial companies. There is no admission fee for job seekers to attend this one-day event, which will be held on Tuesday, April 25, 2006.
"The new job fair is an excellent opportunity for GIS professionals to make connections with geospatial companies of all shapes and sizes," said Conference Chair Greg Buehler, Open Geospatial Consortium, Inc. "I look forward to seeing this event grow for many years to come."
The list of companies exhibiting at the job fair is growing daily, and as of March 30 includes:
• Accenture
• ESRI
