What
is RDX? The
Great Lakes Regional Data Exchange (RDX) is a regional conference focusing on
collaborative technology-based approaches to addressing Great Lakes related
issues. The rapidly growing ability to collect information about the lakes and
the region’s environment and infrastructure present new opportunities for
science and management, but require additional measures to ensure data that are
being collected are able to be shared and compared at a regional level. This
conference is intended to address these needs by helping colleagues share
information about their Great Lakes data collection and management programs,
with a focus on finding ways to improve collaboration among organizations. RDX
2007 in Ottawa, Ontario builds on successful conferences in 2004 and 2006, each
of which drew well over 100 attendees, and several small-scale issue-focused
workshops. Who
should attend RDX? If
you collect or use information regarding the Great Lakes region and have an
interest in working more closely with other organizations, this is the ideal
opportunity to meet with colleagues and discuss these interests. Topics include
the latest in GIS, remote sensing, ecological modeling, and much more. The
conference program includes an exciting list
of plenary presenters. The
conference also includes a dynamic agenda of breakout speakers. About
