11/3–11/5 near DC: Join the open-source geospatial community at FOSS4G NA 2025!

[Puneet Kollipara]

So nice to see many of you at the SCGIS lightning-talks meetup last week. Thanks to our friends at WWF for hosting the event!

Tickets are still available for FOSS4G North America, the continent's largest annual gathering of the open-source geospatial/GIS community, which will take place next Monday through Wednesday (11/3–11/5) just outside DC. Hundreds of people will convene at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Reston, VA (near the Silver Line) for three days of insightful talks, hands-on workshops, community-building socials and professional-development activities.

There's still time to save, but don't wait! Pay $100 less for general admission by acting now instead of registering on site, and save even more by using the discount code ProjectGeospatial_1103. Day passes are also available, and students save 50% on general admission.

Get your tickets HERE. 

Why attend FOSS4G NA 2025? Here's just a few of the many reasons:

• Conservation content, created in part by the SCGIS-DC community:
  • Unifying Access to Western Water Data Through OGC API – EDR (Benjamin Webb and Colton Loftus)

  • Estimating Trail Bridge Impacts on Rural Populations with Python (Adele Birkenes)
  • Remote Sensing for Plants That Are Hard to See (Michele Tobias)
  • Rising Waters, 3D Worlds: Cesium-OSM-Powered Flood Simulations (Michael Mann)
  • And more! Check out the full schedule.
• Learn from leading North American geo-professionals: FOSS4G NA will bring in hundreds of geospatial/GIS developers, engineers, executives, researchers and other leading figures from across North America in the dynamic world of open-source geospatial software, open data, open science and open mapping.
• Gain new skills, career insights and business connections: Whether you hope to hire talented professionals, sharpen your skills, discover new clients, bring in new customers or explore career opportunities, we've got you covered. Come out on Monday, November 3, for our B2B session ($80, a la carte), technical workshops ($100 each, add-on) and Geo-Career Expo & Ice-Cream Mixer (free, a la carte, separate RSVP).
