Tuesday October 13, 2026 4:00pm - 5:00pm CDT

These presentations highlight how government GIS supports transparency, data-driven decision-making, and cross-agency coordination. From open data hubs that reduce information requests, to parcel-level market modeling that improves tax equity, to integrated right-of-way systems that connect assets and operations, to safer, faster, Ramp Analysis; each demonstrates how modern GIS enables more collaborative, efficient, and trusted public sector outcomes.
