Open for Government
Learn a little more about what this conference is about.
For decades open source software has been at the forefront of innovation in data collection, analysis, and visualization. Today, open source geospatial software has evolved into an "open ecosystem" of software, communities, and companies that enable field data collection and advanced visualization and lead the way in drone, lidar, IOT, and satellite imagery collection and analysis.
When open source software is combined with open
standards
for interoperability, government agencies have the
most scalable, stable, secure and cost effective tools available to support activities including:
- Empowering disadvantaged communities with limited funding
- Enabling real-time data analysis at planetary scale
- Optimizing release schedules for constituent facing tools
Join us for this one day conference in the heart of Washington DC. The morning plenaries will share how open source geospatial tools have become a critical part of operations within multiple federal agencies. The afternoon break out sessions will tackle technical and management solution use cases.
We are committed to making a space where everyone is welcome to participate without fear andhave adopted this Code of Conduct
Open Data
Providing information on demand and in a timely fashion is opening new opportunities for providing services
Open Mapping
Communities are collecting information to prepare for and improve responses to natural disasters
Open Geospatial Technology
Underpinning all the other efforts are the open source projects and open standards that can be deployed in a variety of ways for people to use in offices or in the field
Furlough Scholarship Program
FedGeoDay is a day for networking and learning about open data, open mapping and geospatial technology are helping drive program success for government agencies, NGO's and industry. The government shutdown has made it difficult for many to feel secure in planning to attend or afford an event such as ours. On behalf of the organizers and our sponsors we are reserving 10% of the tickets to FedGeoDay 2019 for Furloughed Federal workers.
If you are a furloughed federal worker and would like to attend FedGeoDay for free, please use the “Enter Promo Code” link on the site and enter the following code “2019-furlough”. The code can can be used for 1 ticket per order, only once per person, and while supplies last.

Sponsorship
Please consider supporting FedGeoDay with a financial sponsorship. This day conference is being rebooted and supported by the OSGeo US and LocationTech Communities. This event is centrally located in Washington DC and scheduled to align with the 2019 Esri Federal GIS Conference.
The goal of this conference is to build and educate existing government, ngo, and educational communities around open source geospatial tools and management. This conference is going to be a series of panels bringing together community from within the federal government projects currently involved in Open Source Geospatial. Sponsorship helps to keep the ticket price low for government, ngo, and educational communities. We hope to have 200 participants and have a mix of technical and managerial folks in attendance.
Below is a sponsor benefit grid including pricing. If you would like to discuss sponsoring further, please contact the organizers at help@osgeo.us
