GeoIgnite 2024 is a GO!

GeoIgnite invites the geospatial community to engage with one another by sharing your work, services, and data. GeoIgnite will be going virtual this April for 2021 and plans continue to bring government and industry together for innovative programming. As an added feature, for registered attendees, our conference content will be made available post event.

With GeoIgnite again going virtual for 2021, it allows for the audience to expand exponentially. C-level participation will continue and grow with the additional participants from Canada and abroad.

Tickets will be free for government participants of all levels.
