iCal export-  NBII Introduction to Metadata   
-  This 1 1⁄2 day metadata workshop provides an introduction to the metadata standard with hands-on practice producing documentation for your own data or for a sample data set using the FGDC Standard and the Biological Data Profile.  The focus of the workshop is an understanding of the metadata standard, but other topics will include the metadata clearinghouse, metadata development tools and strategies for metadata production. During the workshop, participants will have a chance to practice creating metadata records and ask individual questions of the presenters. The workshop will alternate between lectures and hands-on exercises.

-  Geospatial Metadata Implementation Strategies   
-  The FGDC is currently leading the development of a U.S. profile of the (ISO) international metadata standard. Metadata authors and consumers are faced with understanding the practical problems in upgrading their metadata records for ISO-conformance. The goal of this workshop is to help information managers and metadata authors gain a complete conceptual understanding of the challenges and benefits of profile compliance. A further goal of the workshop is that attendees will return to their workplace with a strategy outlining how to identify and analyze specific compliance issues in existing metadata archives and production processes, and to modify tools and procedures to achieve the desired level of completeness and compliance.

Lead Trainers: Lynda Wayne, FGDC, and Viv Hutchison, USGS-NBII, with Trainers in Training: Jaci Mize and Kathy Martinloch, NOAA-Coastal Data Development Center.  Workshop focus supports development of a trainer capacity within the Texas Regional Councils and meeting NBII training requests.   
-  2007 Delaware GIS Conference   
-  2007 Delaware GIS Conference will be May 1 and 2 at the Dover Sheraton. The web site is http://www.degis.org/ 
-  U.S.-Canada Geomatics/Geospatial Partnering Event   
-  The event is designed to enable U.S. geomatics/geospatial companies to gain product visibility in Canada’s growing geomatics and geospatial industry. This event will allow for the forging and strengthening of commercial opportunities between Canadian and U.S. firms. U.S. companies will have the opportunity to meet with potential distributors, strategic alliance partners and end users from the public and private sectors. 
-  Geospatial One Stop Steward Training
