Measure, Learn, Connect, Elevate — DGTE 2026 Comes to Arizona

DGTE 2026 is built around four pillars that define modern surveying excellence: precise measurement, continuous learning, professional connection, and career elevation. Attendees get direct access to leading voices in geomatics, live technology demos, and an exhibitor showcase featuring the latest surveying equipment and software.

  • Exhibitor showcase with hands-on access to the newest surveying tech from top vendors
  • Live technology demos covering 3D scanning, GNSS, and AI-driven workflows
  • Networking opportunities with surveyors, engineers, and industry leaders
  • On-site food truck and food court dining at Arizona Tech Park
  • Door prizes and giveaways throughout the event

Kick off DGTE 2026 the evening before with a casual meet-and-greet at Toro Bravo in Vail. Special guest Dustin Gardner, PLS, sets the tone with an Arizona-themed evening of local folklore, legends, and mysterious happenings — the perfect low-key start before two full days of technical sessions.
