GPN Texas (formerly URISA Texas)

We are a dedicated group of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Professionals from a variety of disciplines and backgrounds with the aim of fostering an environment conducive to sharing of ideas, continuing education, and networking. On June 23, 2012, URISA Texas was officially recognized as an organizing chapter of Urban and Regional Information Systems Association (URISA). URISA is a nonprofit association of professionals using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and other information technologies to solve challenges in state/provincial, regional and local government agencies and departments. URISA is the premier organization for the use and integration of geospatial technology to improve the quality of life in urban and regional environments. As the Texas State Chapter our goal is to provide a platform for great ideas and people and to inspire leadership and achievement. We strive to provide exceptional educational experiences, a vibrant and connected community, and the essential resources you need to be successful in your career as a GIS professional. We welcome everyone interested in all aspects of GIS to get involved. In March 2025, URISA Texas rebranded as GPN Texas under the wider Geospatial Professional Network rebranding.
