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.
Please note you do NOT have to be an ILGISA member to attend a Regional Meeting.
