How does MapWorld differ from a training class?

One-day seminars and training manuals provide you with the basics. But, as we all know, a basic overview is not enough to make the most out of your location intelligence investment. That's why the MapWorld agenda is organized around educational and networking opportunities designed to connect you with the right people and the right solutions.

You'll leave the conference with contacts from companies that have faced the same situations you may be facing now. That's why many companies look at MapWorld as a valuable investment and budget for this event each year.

How can my company maximize its MapWorld investment?

Simply register before December 15th, 2007 and you'll save $200 off the full conference registration fee. Register before March 21, 2008 to save $100. And you'll save more if you send more than one person from your organization.
