The Buffalo site of the National Center for Geographic Information and Analysis (NCGIA) will host the first NCGIA Fall Assemby, October 11-13, 1997.

Conference Hotel: University Inn and Conference Center 4201 North Forest Road, Amherst, NY 14226 (716) 636-7500. (Map to the University Inn.) We will have a block of single rooms for out of town guests - Since we also believe there may be some out of town atendees on tighter budgets, we have also reserved a smaller block of double (shared) rooms. The single or double room rate is $59/night - since it is Columbus Day weekend, this is less expensive than the rates given by the "budget" hotels. We will post further details on contacting the hotel when they become available.
