GIS in the Rockies Conference to be virtual October 8-9, 2020

33rd Annual “GIS in the Rockies” Conference
October 89, 2020

Conference Website

Due to COVID-19 and restrictions on large gatherings, the 2020 GIS in the Rockies is now planned as a virtual event on October 8 and 9 (the originally scheduled dates).

We carefully evaluated numerous possible adaptations for an in-person conference but concluded there is no responsible way to host such a large gathering. We’ll truly miss seeing everyone in person this fall, but our community’s health and safety is obviously the top priority.

Please continue to save October 8 & 9 for GIS in the Rockies. We’re finalizing plans for a virtual event and will be in touch soon with details and registration information. In the meantime, stay healthy and best of luck through this pandemic.

We’re planning a return to an in-person conference in 2021!
