About the GeoDesign Summit

What is geodesign?

Geodesign brings geographic analysis into any design process, from developing a community project to conducting scientific research.

With geodesign, initial design sketches are evaluated in comparison with spatial data. This provides a design framework for professionals to leverage geographic information, resulting in designs that more closely follow natural systems. This benefits both people and nature and provides a more synergistic coexistence.

Who should attend?

Geospatial thinkers from planners and engineers to developers and academics to researchers and decision makers should attend. The summit will be a forum that draws from a multitude of interdisciplinary experiences from around the world.

Where will the event take place?

Join us at our new ESRI headquarters in Redlands, California.

Welcome to the GeoDesign Summit 2010

Imagine if your initial design concept, scribbled on the back of a cocktail napkin, has the full power of GIS behind it. The sketch goes into the database, becoming a layer that can be compared to all the other layers in the database.
