The role of GIS in almost all organizations is evolving from a technical system to an integrative, enterprise-wide capability that provides a unique perspective to solve many business challenges. This half-day workshop is intended to help existing GIS professionals, and those new to GIS in a management position, transition from a technical "What and How" focus on GIS technology to a strategic, value-oriented "Who and Why" mindset around what a GIS can contribute to the organization. The workshop will explore the role of GIS in addressing organizational business needs outside of the traditional "Mapping" view and will provide participants tools and strategies for effectively communicating GIS value to stakeholders.

This open forum invites all attendees to engage in discussions on Canada’s path toward greater self-reliance in the geospatial sector, particularly in light of emerging trade conflicts, including the recent U.S. tariffs, and evolving global geopolitical shifts. The forum will explore strategies to strengthen Canada’s technological capabilities and reduce reliance on external sources, with a focus on fostering innovation, security, and growth.

Join us this May for the Canada Forum, where we’ll delve into two essential topics: Canadian Geospatial Data Infrastructure (CGDI) and the integration of Building Information Modeling (BIM) with Geographic Information Systems (GIS). This event will bring together thought leaders from industry, academia, Indigenous organizations, and government sectors to explore how these technologies can transform Canada’s built environment. We'll also discuss the role of OGC standards in fostering interoperability and innovation within these fields.
