The Call for Presentations provides information for those who want to register via purchase order, check, or RSTAR/Wire Transfer. Information is also included for those who prefer to mail, fax, or email their registration form and payment instead of using the online registration system.
TUgis 2010 will once again be a "green conference." The conference will follow recommendations included in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Guide to Planning and Conducting Environmentally Aware Meetings and Events. In addition to increased recycling efforts, we will purchase a "carbon offset" for TUgis 2010 from Carbonfund.org.

I look forward to seeing you in May, 2010!
Sincerely,
John M. Morgan, III, Ph.D., Professor of Geography and Director
Geospatial Research and Education Laboratory
