2022 GIS in Action

Register Now

On behalf of ASPRS Cascadia Region and Oregon URISA, we are happy to welcome you to the 30th annual GIS in Action conference!

The GIS in Action conference features 7 tracks and nearly 50 presentations from local and national professionals to inspire dialog and enhance your knowledge with real world applications of geospatial technology. The conference provides a very economical way for all of us to improve our technical skills and learn about the latest software enhancements.

The conference is also a great way to connect with our peers and share successes and opportunities that we can carry back to improve our organizations. We are fortunate to have a strong professional community in Oregon and Washington, and please use this conference to share, reconnect, and make new friends!
Finally, we would like to thank the GIS in Action committee for developing a great conference agenda, Portland State University for hosting, and our sponsors for supporting us.
