If you haven't decided to attend GIS-Pro 2011 in Indianapolis, November 1-4, please take a few minutes to learn why you should join us to be INspired, INvigorated, INformed and INvolved in INdianapolis!
Highly-anticipated events include an Ignite Session, Lightning Talks, an OpenStreetMap Lab, Esri Technical Workshops, and an Esri-sponsored Dev Meet Up.
We are pleased to offer peer presentations, invited speakers and panelists, and dozens of presentations focusing on these conference tracks:
- Roadmaps for GIS Professionals
- The Business Benefits of GIS
- Immersive GIS
- GIS Speaks Out
- One Government
These tracks cover professional development, tools to measure the success of GIS like ROI and maturity models, state of the art technologies, geospatial industry trends, sharing of leadership experience, and cross-jurisdictional collaboration. Several sessions will be conducted more like a training class and you will have information in your hands that you can take back to work and implement immediately.

One area of the GIS profession that the conference has not focused on extensively in the past is the developer community, both application and web. That's changing this year. We've included several sessions, both daytime breakout sessions and evening events, that will provide opportunities for developers to learn, collaborate, and network. These sessions cover industry standard software and open source applications.
Connect with your peers, up & coming leaders and established influencers in the community at GIS-Pro 2011!
Participate in events to strengthen your professional network:
- URISA's Young Professionals will host a meet & greet during GIS-Pro 2011.
- Earn points towards GISP Certification and attend the GISP Reception.
- Enjoy some down-time at the conference social event with the DTS Band, Forbidden 403 (at the NCAA Hall of Champions)
