Sponsor a Social

What is a GoGeomatics Social and what is Sponsorship?

GoGeomatics Socials are free, casual networking events that bring together professionals from the disciplines of GIS, Surveying, remote sensing, geography, and engineering on a monthly basis. Socials take place in pubs across Canada in cities including Ottawa, Toronto, Vancouver, Kelowna, Halifax, Thunder Bay, London, Kingston, Peterborough, Calgary, Niagara, Kitchener-Waterloo, Regina, Fredricton and Edmonton.

All Aboard for the Back to School Socials

The attendance varies from around ten to thirty or forty people depending on the location, time of year, and the nature of that particular social. If you are sponsoring a social it means most likely you are speaking to the group and that brings in more participants. Socials are a great opportunity for entrepreneurs and managers on the hunt for industry-specific talent.  As well, many young professionals and potential contractors enjoy networking in a friendly environment.
