WV GeoCon - The West Virginia Geospatial Conference

WV GeoCon, hosted by WVAGP, is the largest gathering of geospatial professionals in the state, bringing together a wide community of government entities, academic institutions, non-profit organizations, and businesses that have an interest in geospatial news, research, products, services, and applications. The conference provides opportunities for presentation of ideas, professional development, collaboration, and networking for the broad backgrounds and experience levels of our association's membership. We look forward to seeing you in June!
