World's First GeoDesign Summit to Explore GIS Technology and Design

This diverse group of thinkers will have many opportunities to contribute their opinions, innovations, problems, and solutions. Keynote speakers, lightning talks, brainstorming workshops, cross-disciplinary hands-on learning, and idea labs will spur conversations and encourage further exploration of the marriage of design and GIS.

With geodesign, geographic analysis is brought into a design process early on, when initial design sketches are evaluated against spatial data. Land-use and transportation planners, engineers, and others who use location information can benefit from this strong design framework. The resulting designs more closely follow natural systems, which benefits both people and nature and makes for a more synergistic coexistence.
