GIS in the Rockies offers pre-conference workshops related to important topics in the GIS industry. There are a limited number of openings for each workshop, so it is best to sign up for a workshop during the registration process. If you have already registered for the conference, you can modify your existing registration to add a workshop.

The GIS in the Rockies Planning Committee organizes the conference. The planning committee generally consists of volunteer GIS professionals who currently work in the industry — although the committee is not limited to GIS professionals.
