The goal of traditional industry conferences is to bring practitioners to problems (organized by subject or track). The Spatial Plexus '12 inaugural conference takes a twist on the traditional conference paradigm by bringing problems - "Wicked Problems" - to the practitioner. "Wicked Problems" are problems that are difficult to solve because of incomplete, contradictory, and changing requirements.

"Inspecting 'Wicked Problems' with Geospatial Goggles," will expose, dissect, better define and manage complexities and interdependencies in order to reassemble and improve them.

What better group to tackle such challenges than geospatial educators, technologists and experts who come from every rank and discipline with the ability to relate issues through geographic visualization and analyses?
