      <title>2026 Conference Exhibitor Sign-up Now Open!</title>
      <description>&lt;p style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;The 41st annual Kansas Association of Mappers conference will attract GIS and mapping professionals and organizations from local and state governments as well as private and academic sectors from across the state of Kansas.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;What was once a cadastral mapping conference has grown into geospatial fields as disparate as emergency response, public works, public health, environment, energy and utilities, recreation, transportation and water resources. We want to connect you with new customers as well as get face-to-face time with existing customers to grow partnerships that improve workflows around the state.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Click&lt;/span&gt; &lt;strong style=""&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;a href="https://kansasmappers.org/exhibitors" target="_blank" style=""&gt;HERE&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;for more information.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;We look forward to seeing everyone in Wichita this year!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
