note = "Funding Information: The 2017 CPGIS (The International Association of Chinese Professionals in Geographic Information Science) annual conference of Geoinformatics was held on August 2-4, 2017 in Buffalo, NY, USA. It was the 25th anniversary of CPGIS. The National Center for Geographic Information and Analysis at Buffalo (NCGIA-Buffalo, led by Director Dr. Ling Bian) and CPGIS organized the conference at CPGIS{\textquoteright}s birthplace to celebrate 25 years{\textquoteright} success. Under the theme of “The Past and Future 25 Years”, this event was also co-organized by the following units: CPGIS Base at College of Environment and Planning, Henan University; Confucius Institute, University at Buffalo; State Key Laboratory of Resources and Environmental Information System, Institute of Geographic Sciences and Natural Resources Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences; NSF Spatiotemporal Innovation Center, UCSB/GMU/Harvard; International Society for Digital Earth; Ministry of Education's Key Laboratory of Poyang Lake Wetland and Watershed Research, Jiangxi Normal University; Office of the Vice Provost for International Education, University at Buffalo; State Key Laboratory of Information Engineering in Surveying, Mapping and Remote Sensing, Wuhan University. The Geoinformatics conference series was initiated by CPGIS in 1992. This international conference series has provided a unique forum for exchanging novel ideas and cutting-edge knowledge on geographic information sciences and technologies among GIS professionals worldwide. Established 25 years ago on the SUNY-Buffalo campus initiated by Hui Lin (CPGIS Founder and Inaugural President) and a group of students with big dreams, CPGIS has grown up to a mature association with members from 31 countries and regions. 19 former and current CPGIS presidents arrived at the Buffalo conference along with over 200 participants from all over the world: Hui Lin, Yuemin Ding, Bin Li, Lin Liu, Hanming Tu, Shuming Bao, Chuang Tao, Fahui Wang, A-Xing Zhu, Chaowei Yang, Le Wang, Yongmei Lu, Aijun Chen, Xun Shi, Shaowen Wang, Mei-Po Kwan, Shixiong Hu, Xinyue Ye, and Ji-anya Gong.
