Abstract

This activity is for proposed travel awards for 25 U.S.-based graduate and undergraduate students to participate in the 33rd ACM SIGSPATIAL GIS 2025 Conference, which will be held in Minneapolis, Minnesota, November 3-6, 2025. The Conference is annually organized by the ACM (Association for Computing Machinery) Special Interest Group on Spatial Information (SIGSPATIAL), which is an association for researchers, students, and professionals interested in research, development, and deployment of solutions to spatial information handling and spatial knowledge extraction problems. The Conference started in 1993, has established itself as the world's premier research conference in spatial computing, spatial data, and geographic information systems (GIS); it provides a forum for original research contributions covering all conceptual, design, and implementation aspects of GIS ranging from applications, user interfaces, and visualization to storage management and indexing issues. Besides the technical program, the conference features workshops, a student research competition, a PhD workshop, a data competition, demos, and networking events. The importance of spatial information handling continuously increases with new application domains and the availability and ubiquity of large spatial data such as maps, remote-sensing images, 3D medical atlases, and the decennial census. Businesses, industry, academia, and governmental agencies utilize spatial information to improve their daily op
