Esri is proud to support the upcoming GIS-Pro in the Rockies 2025 conference, taking place October 6–9 in Denver, Colorado. This is the 63rd Annual Conference for the Geospatial Professional Network (GPN), which was formerly known as the Urban Regional Information Systems Association (URISA). The GPN provides a vibrant community uniting emerging and experienced GIS professionals through top-tier education, networking, and career development.
The GPN is an important organization to Esri, and we are showing our decades-long commitment to the organization and GIS-Pro via our diamond sponsorship for the conference. As the global market leader in GIS software, location intelligence, and mapping, we have assembled a team of dedicated professionals from across the country and company to deliver valuable content throughout the event.
