From February 24th to 28th, 2012, the Association of American Geographers (AAG) is inviting everybody interested to its 2012 Annual Meeting to New York City. This will be a great opportunity to hear about (and see in action) the latest trends and ideas in geography, GIS, and spatial analysis in more than 4,000 paper and poster presentations as well as several workshops and field trips.

I, too, will be involved in a so-called Interactive Short Paper Session titled “Highlights in Spatial Analysis and Modelling”, where I will give a brief 5 minute overview of my current research in a slot titled “Spatial Analysis of Terrorism Vulnerability”, followed by a panel discussion together with the other seven presenters of this session. The session will be held on Sunday, February 26th, from 8:00 AM to 9:40 AM in a room called Sutton Parlor Center on the 2nd floor of the Hilton New York, one of the two conference venues.

For more detailed information about the conference itself and the plethora of interesting activities there, please refer to the conference website or more specifically to the online program. I’m looking forward very much to lots of insightful presentations and meeting many interesting people there! If you will be there and want to meet up in person, or if you would like to recommend a certain event, please let me know in the comments!

See you in NYC!
