Yes, that’s right – building on the success of last year’s Summit, the 13th GIS Managers Summit is new and improved for 2025. Get ready for one of the best single-day, GIS events on the planet. Join 600+ of your peers, from across the US and abroad, to discover best practices and learn practical leadership tips from some of the foremost leaders and SMEs in the industry. This event is for current and future GIS Managers/Leaders, as well as others interested in learning more about the business of enterprise GIS and how to follow The Path to Geospatial Excellence.

Leave with actionable information you can apply to improve your GIS program and professional development.
Topics to be covered include:
