The Asian region is forging a path of development and economic growth through the establishment of infrastructural capital. It offers scope for application of the various Geographic Information Technologies like Photogrammetry, Global Positioning System (GPS), Remote Sensing and Imaging to meet the requirements of the Geo-informatics community in the Asian region. Every year Map Asia provides a platform for the Asian Geo-Informatics community to realise, recognise, and reveal the stages of dissemination of Geospatial Information. Map Asia is an international initiative aimed to allow the convergence, sharing and use of Geospatial Technologies. Founded in the year 2002, Map Asia is the largest Annual International Conference and Exhibition on Geospatial Information, Technology and Applications in the region and offers a unique branding, networking and marketing opportunity to the local and international Geospatial Industry.

Theme: Connecting Geospatial Communities - Creating New Dimensions
In the last one-and-a-half decade, we have witnessed a technological boom in the world. GeoInformation Technology (GIT) too, has strived to create new application areas with innovation as the key driver. With an increased focus on creation of accurate digital spatial data, GIT has helped tremendously in planning, monitoring and evaluating jobs. With time, there is increased realisation of enormous potential that GIT holds in areas that have so far remained unexplored.
