Geo Week, North America’s leading geospatial and mapping technology conference, will relocate to Salt Lake City, Utah, beginning in 2027. Previously held in Denver, Colorado, the move positions the event within one of the fastest-growing technology markets in the United States and a well-established geospatial ecosystem.

Scheduled for February 23–25, 2027, at the Salt Palace Convention Center, Geo Week 2027 will continue its mission of uniting geospatial professionals, GIS specialists, mapping experts, and technology leaders to explore how data-driven tools support infrastructure, utilities, public lands, and urban development.

Salt Lake City offers a strong foundation for geospatial innovation. The region supports thousands of geospatial professionals working across government agencies, utilities, transportation networks, and private sector firms. Municipal and county GIS teams manage advanced systems covering water infrastructure, stormwater, utilities, transportation corridors, and public lands. The state’s lidar acquisition programs and open data initiatives provide broad public access to spatial datasets, enabling real-world applications of geospatial science and mapping technology.

Utah’s growing technology economy further strengthens the case for relocation. Salt Lake City ranks among the top-performing large metropolitan areas in the United States for economic growth, with the technology sector representing a significant share of its workforce and economic output. This dynamic environment creates strong opportunities for collaboration between geospatial professionals, technology innovators, and infrastructure stakeholders.

Higher education and workforce development are also central to the region’s geospatial strength. Multiple universities across Utah offer programs in GIS, spatial analysis, remote sensing, and related disciplines, creating a consistent pipeline of skilled professionals entering the industry. University-affiliated research laboratories and partnerships with professional associations and user groups ensure students gain both technical expertise and real-world application experience.

Geo Week 2027 will continue to serve as a premier platform for exploring lidar, GIS, mapping systems, spatial data management, and emerging geospatial technologies. Salt Lake City’s unique geographic position—at the intersection of alpine mountains, desert landscapes, and the Great Salt Lake—offers a compelling backdrop for demonstrating how geospatial tools address environmental monitoring, infrastructure resilience, and land management challenges.

By relocating to Salt Lake City, Geo Week strengthens its commitment to advancing geospatial science, fostering innovation, and supporting professional development across North America’s mapping and spatial data community.
