Event History
October 2017: As Vicki Husome of Infrastructure Resources looks on, President Limbruner prepares to sign an agreement which greatly expands the previous cooperation between GITA's Phoenix Conference and Infrastructure Resources' CGA 811 Excavation Safety Conference & Expo.
In mid-October 2017, GITA and Infrastructure Resources concluded an agreement which has led to back-to-back co-hosting of respective organizational conferences in the Phoenix Convention Center, March 5-8, 2018.
GITA's Phoenix Conference will start off the week with cutting-edge geospatial learning on Monday, March 5 and Tuesday, March 6.
On March 6th, the educational portion of the CGA 811 Excavation Safety Conference & Expo will also get underway and will continue until the afternoon of Thursday, March 8.
Although each event will be sold separately, individuals purchasing GITA tickets will be able to enjoy a variety of important benefits that the CGA 811 Excavation Safety Conference & Expo has made available to GITA Phoenix Conference attendees. Please see the registration page for additional details.
