Showcase What You Do Best

The Innovation Spotlight Stage is where great ideas get the attention they deserve. This opportunity is available to exhibitors, sponsors, and partners who want to go beyond the booth—demonstrating products, hosting informal town halls, engaging attendees through live demos, and amplifying their presence at GSA Connects 2026.

A female presenter holds a microphone and speaks on the GSA Innovation Stage in the Exhibit Hall, with a large Innovation Stage banner visible behind her, a Geological Society of America podium to her left, and a National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program's Annual Best Geologic Mapping Competition banner in the background.

Own the Stage—Showcase Your Innovation!

Take center stage at the premier geoscience event of the year with the Innovation Spotlight Stage—a high-visibility platform located prominently at the entrance of the Exhibit Hall and viewable from all directions in the Poster Hall.

This complimentary opportunity is open to exhibitors, sponsors, and other partners who want to elevate their presence at GSA Connects. Use the stage to:

  • Demonstrate new technologies or products beyond the constraints of your booth
  • Highlight your organization's people, services, or latest breakthroughs
  • Host informal town halls, panels, or Q&A sessions
  • Engage directly with attendees through interactive presentations and live demos

Why Participate?

  • Unmatched visibility in a central, high-traffic area
  • Opportunities for spontaneous engagement and expanded reach
  • Flexible programming format to match your goals—whether promotional, educational, or community-building

The Innovation Spotlight Stage is available in scheduled blocks throughout the meeting. Spots are limited and will be scheduled on a first-come, first-served basis.
