Fall NEARC 2026 starts on November 15, 2026.

The conference takes place at Holiday Inn By The Bay in Portland, Maine.

The organizer identifies GIS practitioners and new users as attendees, and also recommends the event to municipal, public works, IT, and finance leaders.

It is most useful for working GIS practitioners in local government and similar organizations who use Esri software, since the program offers technical training from Esri staff, user-led presentations grouped into tracks, and a hands-on Collaboration Center. The organizer also encourages bringing a supervisor, town manager or finance manager, which makes it a fair choice for justifying GIS budgets, while specialists working on non-Esri platforms or wanting a national-scale show will get less from a regional user group meeting in Portland, ME.

GIS and municipal government audiences usually wear casual business attire, such as slacks, polos or sweaters, with layers for a coastal Maine hotel in November.
