about the conference

This year’s Geo-Resolution Conference highlights the important role of geospatial models in addressing global issues and advancing geospatial science. Building off of the 2023 theme, with its focus on digital transformations and GeoAI, this year’s conference dives deeper into key areas for geospatial research and innovation, such as digital twins, gaming and simulation, big data, artificial intelligence, and more. We will also consider how new technologies and applications for geospatial modeling might impact the future of the geospatial workforce and the skills needed to make an impact in the geospatial field.

Special Event

Don't miss the mentoring lunch

To help empower the next generation of career professionals during Geo-Resolution, each year the event organizers hold a Student Mentoring Lunch. Used as an initiative to pair students with mentors during the conference, the activity hosts dozens of geospatial leaders and students to ensure continued growth in geospatial science.

Special Event

Join the student poster session

Each year Geo-Resolution hosts an academic poster session to help share the new, exciting research that is happening in geospatial across the United States. We welcome posters on a wide range of research topics as long as there is a geospatial aspect to the work. Whether your study uses location science as an analytic mapping tool or your research is breaking new ground in geospatial technologies, we want to highlight your work for the Geo-Resolution audience. Posters where the participant is listed as a co-author will be accepted. Posters do not have to be new and may be previously presented.
