Call for Sponsors

2026 marks the return of the FOSS4G North America conference to the west coast for the first time since 2019!

Our themes this year are Resilience and Innovation. We invite your partnership to help drive the future of open source geospatial technology in service of both. California and the other western states are particularly familiar with these themes as they face down challenges like record setting water shortages and wildfires year after year.

Sacramento is an under-recognized geospatial hub — and the perfect home for FOSS4G NA 2026:

  • Wildfire & Emergency Management — A concentration of state agencies and private companies driving fire intelligence and incident response

  • Water & Delta Management — At the heart of one of the most complex river systems in the country

  • Agriculture — Surrounded by some of the most intensively mapped farmland in the world

  • Academic Research — A strong regional presence in remote sensing and environmental GIS

  • Aerial & Imagery Legacy — Former military installations with deep roots in aerial reconnaissance

  • Bay Area Proximity — Connected to one of the deepest technology and geospatial ecosystems anywhere

Demographics

The typical attendee is an experienced professional including power users, and people building spatially aware solutions. Roughly 25%- 30% of attendees are in a leadership position. In 2026, we are aiming for a diverse conference with accessible pricing for students, non-profits and other groups that may not normally participate in technical GIS conferences.

Location Details

A gem of 1920s civic architecture, the building was designed by the first licensed woman architect in California, Julia Morgan, and housed the Sacramento Public Market from 1923–1974. After several decades as an office building, it was restored during its conversion into the Sheraton Grand Sacramento in the 1990s, taking special care to incorporate and honor the original architecture. The hotel recently completed a multi-year renovation and boasts a light-filled atrium, with plenty of hallway space and seating for "hallway networking" that is a staple of FOSS4G North America.

Indulge at the onsite restaurants, or enjoy a quick walk to any of the nearby restaurants or breweries in America's Farm to Fork Capital. Perfect for informal socializing or hosting co-located events like Birds of a Feather or an After Party.
