The ACM SIGSPATIAL International Conference on Advances in Geographic Information Systems 2012 (ACM SIGSPATIAL GIS 2012) is the twentieth event in a series of symposia and workshops that began in 1993 with the aim of bringing together researchers, developers, users, and practitioners in relation to novel systems based on geo-spatial data and knowledge, and fostering interdisciplinary discussions and research in all aspects of geographic information systems. The conference provides a forum for original research contributions covering all conceptual, design, and implementation aspects of GIS ranging from applications, user interfaces, and visualization to data storage and query processing and indexing. The conference is the premier annual event of the ACM Special Interest Group on Spatial Information (ACM SIGSPATIAL http://www.sigspatial.org/). We hope that you will be able to attend and we look forward to your participation.

* The early registration deadline is 09/30/2012. Online registration is open at http://powerranger.cse.unt.edu/chengyang/gis2012/. 

* Conference hotel reservation information is available at http://acmgis2012.cs.umd.edu/venue_accomodations. The special rate is available for booking until October 7 or until the block of rooms reserved at the conference rate has been exhausted. 

* A recruitment event for students will be held during the poster reception (7:30pm - 11:30pm, Wednesday, Nov. 7), with representatives from Google, Microsoft, and ESRI. Interested students are urged to attend, with resumes ready!

* Student travel grants sponsored by Google and NSF can be applied from http://acmgis2012.cs.umd.edu/travel_grant by 09/28/2012.
