Here Comes the Green Thing - The Twin Cities GECCo!

Well, after 18 months of start and stop planning, GITA's Geospatially Enabling 

Community Collaboration (GECCo) workshop will finally arrive in the Twin Cities on October 27th and 28th.  There are three (3) separate events to the Twin Cities GECCo - and each event requires a ticket to attend (sorry - this limitation is due to funding constraints).  

Tickets are free and will be distributed on a first come, first serve basis after a limited number of special invites have had an opportunity to respond.

The three events, and associated ticket distribution methods are as follows:
