The decisions being made right now about where data centers are built, how energy moves through our communities, and how public services reach the people who depend on them are being shaped by geospatial technology. And the question before us is a simple one: will county leaders help shape that conversation, or will we watch it unfold without us? 🏛️
I'm writing to invite you to lend your voice to the GeoGov Summit 2026, taking place September 9–10 at the Hyatt Regency Dulles in Herndon, Virginia. This is not a spectator's event. We need county leaders in the room and at the podium.
Here is specifically where we need you:
🎤 Our Opening Plenary on Data Centers. We are seeking local representatives from counties to speak during Plenary 1: Geospatial in Public Policy. This session explores how spatial computing helps communities make informed decisions around energy, transmission, data centers, and public service delivery. Few counties in this nation understand the weight of these decisions the way yours does, and that firsthand experience is exactly what this conversation needs.
🏛️ Our State and Local Governance Deep Dives. We are looking for county representatives to join focused sessions on how governance actually works on the ground, the real challenges, the real wins, the honest lessons.

Hosted by the Local Government Legal Center (LGLC), join legal experts in a discussion of the Supreme Court’s important decisions of the term impacting local governments. The Supreme Court heard several monumental cases this term, including cases related to:
- Local government tax foreclosure and the amount of equity that is due back to a homeowner after a tax sale;
- Election law and redistricting issues;
- Law enforcement issues including qualified immunity and geofence warrants;
- Birthright citizenship; and
- The Second Amendment
The LGLC is a coalition of national local government organizations formed in 2023 by the National Association of Counties (NACo), National League of Cities (NLC) and International Municipal Lawyers Association (IMLA) to provide education to local governments regarding the Supreme Court and its impact on local governments and local officials and to advocate for local government positions at the Supreme Court in appropriate cases. Visit the Local Government Legal Center to learn more.
