Join other attendees to set up an
ad hoc informal gathering on a topic that interests you. Maybe you want to discuss your favorite map projections with fellow enthusiasts, or maybe you're a student who wants to create a space to network with other students and share advice. Reserve the NACIS Commons and add whatever you think our conference is missing. A sign-up sheet will be available on-site and reservations are first come, first served.
The Commons area will have with a handful of chairs for group gatherings. When the room is not in use, the Commons also serves as a quieter space to sit and chat away from the more crowded areas.
