For GIS Day this year we have a special treat. ESRI’s Adam Carnow will be delivering for us what would normally be a Conference keynote presentation. We will also be giving away five free ArcGIS for Personal Use licenses at the end of the presentation. These licenses are valued at $100 (US) and provide access to a full range of ArcGIS capabilities. Scroll down for details on how to join us on Zoom!
Abstract: In order to maximize the impact of GIS in your organization, garner executive sponsorship for GIS, and increase your personal career potential, we have got to shift the conversation from technology to capability, and that capability is Location Intelligence (LI). This presentation will review the 5 pillars of LI (Strategy, Organization, Data & Technology, Culture, Literacy), as well as provide real examples of GIS practitioners that are using these techniques to move up in their organizations and increase the value of their GIS program.
