2019-2020 Back to School Socials in Pictures – Thank you Sponsors & Participants!

GoGeomatics Social

The 6th annual GoGeomatics 2019 Back to School Socials have been a tremendous success.

After coming off the success of GeoIgnite 2019 National Conference in Ottawa. Our groups and group leaders across the country came together to put together some great events.

Also we want to thank all our terrific sponsors whose support allows us to have these event and support the groups through our season for 2019 and 2020. See the full list of amazing sponsors below.

My thanks go to our city group leaders across the country who did a terrific job organizing and hosting these events. What an effort! Our group leaders are leaders in the Canadian geomatics community who work at the grass roots level facilitating new networks that in turn enrich our industry and community.

The Back to School socials are where we welcome new and returning students to the geomatics community in Canada. For many this is the first time they get to interact with professionals and senior people in our industry. The socials are fun free networking events supported by the the community.
