These workshops are intended to be educational and not for promoting vendor software or hardware. Workshops should be impartial and cover a wide range of commercial sources even if a specific commercial vendor employs the instructor. Workshops can be taught as either half-day (4.5 hour) or full-day (8.5 hour) courses. Workshops may not have more than two paid instructors. If there is more than one instructor, only one instructor will be the point of contact for the workshop. Anyone wishing to propose a workshop for presentation (this would be the person who would be the instructor) must provide the following information to the ASPRS Workshop Coordinator by May 1, 2010: Workshop title 500-word abstract describing the length of the workshop (half or full-day); the goals/objectives and content of the workshop; the intended audience of the workshop including whether it is introductory, intermediate, or advanced material; and, names of instructors Workshop Proposals Instructor(s) vitae Whether this is an established or a newly developed workshop and whether the instructor(s) have given this workshop in the past If it is an established workshop, provide a copy of the most current workbook/materials All workshop proposals will be considered for this meeting and the ASPRS Workshop Coordinator will notify those selected for inclusion in the Workshop Program. In addition to considering new proposals, the Workshop Coordinator will recruit additional workshops to complete a wellbalanced program, minimizing subject overlap and maximizing the quality of the overall Workshop Program. Anyone wishing to propose a workshop for consideration should contact ASPRS Workshop Coordinator Bob Burtch at (231) 591-2634, rburtch@ charter.net, or burtchr@ferris.edu for instruction. ASPRS reserves the right to cancel any workshop that does not have sufficient enrollment 30 days prior to the start date.

Orlando is the fifth largest city in the state by population making it an excellent location for this conference. Orlando is consistently ranked as one of the top meeting and vacation destinations. It now boasts more theme parks and entertainment attractions than anywhere else in the world. Originally the center of a major citrus-growing region, it is a major tourist destination and the home of the Walt Disney World Resort, the Universal Orlando Resort, and SeaWorld. These attractions helped make Orlando the third most visited American city. Orlando is also home to the University of Central Florida, the largest university campus by student enrollment in the state of Florida and among the largest in the United States. In the 1920s, Orlando experienced extensive housing development during the Florida Land Boom. The boom ended when several hurricanes hit Florida in the late 20s, along with the Great Depression. An economic turnaround occurred when the aerospace/ defense company Martin Marietta (now Lockheed Martin) established a plant in the city in 1956. Perhaps the most critical event for Orlando s economy occurred in 1965 when Walt Disney announced plans to build Walt Disney World. The geography of Orlando, Florida is mostly wetlands, consisting of many lakes and swamps. The terrain is generally flat, making the land fairly low and wet. The largest lake in Orlando, Lake Apopka, is larger than the Walt Disney World Resort. Orlando is approximately a one hour drive east to the Kennedy Space Center and the Space Coast and an easy drive to the Tampa area. What a great location with something for everyone.
