Unique Event (Why)

As a GIS Leader, my problems were never about the Technology or what GIS could do for the organization.  Like you, I needed to learn about Leadership and Management through the Guidance and Success Stories of others to elevate me to the next level.  GIS Leadership Topics at industry conferences are scarce because they are spread too thin in order to accommodate the general audience.  "You can have all the Technology in the world and the biggest budgets but if you don't know how to lead, it means nothing..." There is a whole world of GIS expertise and experiences that are untapped that have the answers to your problems.  It's a great feeling connecting and knowing someone has just shared you the keys to solving that nagging problem holding your GIS Program back from full potential.  You can have all the Technology in the world and the biggest budgets but if you don't know how to lead, it means nothing... The GIS Leadership  Virtual Summit presented by GISSuccess.com is a culmination of Industry Need and the Contribution of giving back to the community that shaped my career and thousands of others.

Testimonials

“"I told my boss I found #GIS soulmates at the #GISLeadershipSummit. I found people I admire, who inspired me and who gave me tools that I will use to improve the City's GIS every day. Those 2 days were a watershed moment for me and really drove home how lucky I am to work where I do and get to do the work I love. And now, I can do it better! Much thanks to Toby Soto , Wade Kloos, and Tim Nolan and your excellent panel of speakers. #grateful"”
