AGC 2017

A Special, Two-Part AGC
To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the conference, the 2017 edition of the Applied Geography Conference was held in two special venues: (1) a main conference cruise event (November 13-17), and (2) a one-day business geography symposium (November 10 -- scroll down this page for information).
1. Main Conference
The main sessions of the conference were held on board a cruise ship, with sailing occurring from November 13 through 17, 2017. Departure and return will be from Port Canaveral, Florida (see central Florida map below for location). Further details on the cruise ship experience and the conference schedule can be found in this flyer.

The final session schedule for the conference has now been released and can be downloaded here (this is the final version, updated on November 7).

2. One-Day Business Geography Symposium
A one-day business geography symposium was held on November 10, 2017 at Kent State University in Kent, Ohio (see Cleveland-area map at the bottom of this page for location). Here is the symposium session schedule. The symposium will include:
  • Paper sessions focused on applied research in business geography, spanning the spectrum from retail and service businesses to real estate and manufacturing
  • Joint practitioner/academic panel discussion on issues related to geographic practice in business
While it is possible for participants to attend the business geography symposium as a stand-alone event, the AGC board selected the symposium date to make it possible for symposium participants to coordinate their schedules and also attend the main conference cruise if they wish.
