Coastal GeoTools 2027 is the premier biennial event for professionals dedicated to the development and application of geospatial technology in coastal resource management. Established in 1999 and hosted this year by the Association of State Floodplain Managers in partnership with the NOAA Office for Coastal Management, it serves as a nexus for data scientists, coastal planners, and technology developers.

The event brings together geospatial technology and the expertise of local, state, tribal, and community leaders. Our goal is to ensure that as our coasts change, our communities have the data, tools, and training necessary to stay one step ahead.

Coastal GeoTools emphasizes innovation, knowledge sharing, the effective use of emerging geospatial data and technologies, and partnerships—all essential for building a more resilient coast. Whether you are a new or previous attendee, don’t miss this opportunity to strengthen existing relationships and forge new ones.
