Dettagli
April’s event will give you a sneak peek of FedGeoDay 2026!
GeoDC’s guest speakers for the evening will be members of the organizing team for FedGeoDay, a conference about how federal programs and stakeholders build, support and use geospatial open-source software, open data, open science and open mapping.
FedGeoDay 2026: Building Ecosystems for Supporting Federal Data Stewardship
Do you use US Census data, NASA satellite imagery or federal GIS tools? Curious how policy changes and AI innovation are shaping the way we think/talk about or solve problems with location and maps? FedGeoDay 2026, a conference on April 22–23 in the DC area, will answer these questions and more.
FedGeoDay is the premier conference devoted to how federal programs and stakeholders cultivate and harness “open geospatial ecosystems.” Themed Building Ecosystems for Supporting Federal Data Stewardship, FedGeoDay 2026 will feature more content than ever and more ways for attendees to engage and shape the dialogue.
Organizing team members including Eddie Pickle from Snowflake will answer your questions and tell you more about the conference, including the hands-on workshops on day two and the first-ever FedGeoDay "unconference," which gives the power to shape the discussion back to the attendees in the spirit of open source. FedGeoDay's planning team also includes GeoDC's very own Chad Blevins and Puneet Kollipara.
FedGeoDay is April 22–23 in Suitland, MD at the Census Bureau HQ, just off the Green Line. Check out the website for an at-a-glance view of the program, keynoted by Denice Ross (former U.S. Chief Data Scientist, now at Federation of American Scientists). Get your early-bird tickets by this Friday, 4/10.
