GeoDev Summit
Coming November 16, 2023
About the GeoDev Summit: The GeoDev Summit, started in 2018, is a one-day annual event for GIS professionals interested in software development. This professional development opportunity will provide attendees with technical workshops and presentations led by industry professionals.
In 2023, the event will feature hands-on technical sessions on a variety of topics relevant to anyone working in the GIS space – from those who are new to software development to experienced developers. Topic categories examples include application of Python and JavaScript to automate processes and solve complex problems and pre-written code will be shared for hands on exercises.
Benefits: Whether you choose to be a presenter or attendee, the summit will provide valuable experience to add to your professional portfolio/resume that can showcase the new tools and techniques.
The summit is also a great opportunity for technical peer interaction, and networking opportunities with fellow GIS professionals throughout the day.
For GIS Professionals (GISP’s), or those working to obtain the certification, this summit qualifies for 1 GIS-P Education Point.
