The National Alliance for Public Safety GIS (NAPSG) Foundation is pleased to announce the 9th annual Innovation Summit for Preparedness & Resilience (InSPIRE), which will be co-hosted with our partners at the Indiana University in Indianapolis on October 2-3, 2024.

Prepare to embark on a journey ‘Back to our Roots’ at InSPIRE 2024! Join us as we look back at what we have built together, while we continue to realize our shared mission for the future of GIS.
