One of the key benefits of being an ILGISA member is the ability to connect and exchange knowledge with over 600 members across Illinois. Although our Annual Conference stands as the premier gathering for GIS professionals annually, our Regional Meetings offer an outstanding chance to network with fellow members and non-members alike.

ILGISA encourages all individuals to look into this unique opportunity!

Call for ContentWe are now accepting presentation proposals for our upcoming regional meeting and we invite GIS professionals and students to submit presentations centered on collaboration in GIS. If you’ve partnered across departments, worked with neighboring agencies, engaged the public, or built solutions with interdisciplinary teams, we want to hear your story. Share how collaboration enhanced your project outcomes, improved efficiency, or helped solve complex challenges. This is a great opportunity to highlight innovative partnerships, lessons learned, and practical approaches that others can apply in their own work.
