The Geospatial Information & Technology Association (GITA) is a nonprofit organization focused on providing unbiased information about geospatial technologies through conferences, seminars, chapter events, webcasts, forums, and publications. Founded in 1982, it operates from Aurora, Colorado, and serves professionals in the geospatial field by supporting mentoring, education, recognition, and scholarship within a framework that emphasizes leadership and diversity. With a history tied to the growth of the geospatial profession, GITA has engaged in partnerships and collaborations to broaden its reach, including a national nonprofit fiscal sponsorship established by October 2021. The association’s activities aim to support practitioners, researchers, and organizations seeking authoritative, conference-driven programming and resources related to geospatial information and technology. A recent development noted is its collaboration with Gulf Energy Information to host a Pipeline Technology Forum, reflecting ongoing partnerships to expand event offerings.
