Call for Presentations

Safe Software invites FME users to submit presentation abstracts for the FME International User Conference to be held on June 11 – 12th, 2009 in Whistler, BC, Canada.

This year’s conference will focus on “Bringing the World Together” where users will share best practices and demonstrate their expertise in using FME to cross data boundaries and eliminate barriers to spatial data access. Participation in this international event is an excellent opportunity to showcase your expertise and identify your organization as a leading innovator in applying spatial ETL (extract, transform, and load) technology.

Call for Presentations

We are seeking abstract submissions for two types of presentations:

  • Presentations: 25 minutes (plus 5 minutes for Q & A)
  • Lightning Talks: 7 minutes (plus 3 minutes for Q & A)
    • Brief presentations on any topic of interest to the FME user community. Pose a question, share an FME experience or invite listeners to help you streamline a workspace.
    • Examples include: “Generating Lease Polygons”; “Linear Referencing Model Transformation” and “Building a Business Case for FME”

Topics of Interest

We invite abstract submissions that demonstrate the innovative application of FME. We are especially interested in case studies involving the application of FME in the government, oil and gas, utilities and telecommunication sectors. Presentations from other industries will also be considered. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

  • Spatial data distribution (download and streaming; SDIs; data clearing houses)
  • Data validation, quality assurance and upload
  • Loading spatial databases
  • CAD to GIS
  • Mapping/charting
  • Workspace design (including data conversion, design patterns and best practices)
  • Data transformation and integration (including coordinate system conversion and scenarios that illustrate integration of multiple data types like 3D, raster and CAD)
  • Linear referencing
  • Integration with traditional ETL systems
  • Analysis and business process integration
