GeoDC : June 2026 Meetup
**The next GeoDC will be held on Wednesday, June 10 from 6-9pm at Sudhouse DC (1340 U St NW, Washington, DC 20009) with the program starting at 7pm.**
* Join us early from 6-7pm to grow your network, socialize and grab drinks and appetizers.
* Throughout the evening, we'll be sharing job announcements and details of other GIS/Geo upcoming events we're tracking.
* We look forward to seeing you on the 10th!
**Our Program will feature these presentations:**
**The Secret History of the Blue Dot - William H. Tewelow, GISP (GPS World)**
This presentation takes the audience from an iconic movie scene they recognize but never understood, through the hidden origins of GPS, and returns them to the blue dot in their own hand, seeing it for the very first time. There is a blue dot on your phone right now. It knows where you are to within a few feet. You have never questioned it. You have never wondered where it came from.
You should.
Its origins are classified. Its lineage runs through the Cold War, nuclear submarines, and a doctrine built on the promise of mutual annihilation. The technology that tells you where to turn was designed for something else entirely.
The technology did not change. Only the purpose did.
**GEOINT Symposium's Golden Ticket Program - Katie Weintraub (ESRI)**
This is a firsthand account of USGIF's GEOINT Symposium Golden Ticket â a program built for early-career professionals who want to level up their careers.
Participants get free admission to GEOINT Symposium, mentorship opportunities, a network of fellow Golden Ticket alumni, and a cohort of peers to grow alongside.
This talk breaks it all down fast â what it is and why it's a stellar experience for young professionals breaking into or already working in the geospatial intelligence realm.
**From GIS to AI: Lessons from MITâs Applied Data Science & AI Program**- **Julia Brodsky (Navy Federal Credit Union).**
A practical look at one GIS professionalâs experience completing MITâs Applied Data Science & AI Certificate program, including key takeaways, challenges, and thoughts on how AI may impact the geospatial industry.

Customize the IDE: Building Extensions for Visual Studio Code - Alan Barber
**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you.
The building address is 4450 Bridge Park
The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400
You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge.
**Abstract**
*Customize the IDE: Building Extensions for Visual Studio Code*
Visual Studio Code is one of the most widely used development environments today, and much of its flexibility comes from its extension ecosystem. Extensions allow developers to customize the editor with new features, integrations, and workflow improvements tailored to their needs.
In this session, weâll cover what extensions are and the different types available, including full extensions written in TypeScript or JavaScript, along with lighter-weight extensions such as color themes, language packs, language support, code snippets, and keymaps. Weâll also look at practical reasons a developer might create an extension, from automating repetitive tasks to adding custom tooling.
The session includes a hands-on walkthrough of creating a new extension, testing it locally, and understanding the basic project structure. Weâll close with a brief overview of how extensions are packaged and published to the Visual Studio Marketplace and other distribution options.
