Kootenays GoGeomatics Meetup in Nelson BC

The GoGeomatics community in the Kootenays is coming together again for another evening of networking, conversation, and geospatial community building in Nelson, British Columbia.
Join local organizer Alec Kvarnstrom and members of the regional geomatics community for a relaxed evening where professionals, students, and anyone interested in geospatial technology can connect.
GoGeomatics Meetups are informal gatherings that bring together people working in GIS, surveying, drones, remote sensing, mapping, and geospatial technology more broadly. These events provide an opportunity to meet others in the field, share ideas, and build connections within the local geomatics community.
Whether you are a long-time industry professional, early in your career, a student, or simply curious about geospatial technology, you are welcome to attend.
This month’s meetup is generously supported by Urban Systems Ltd.

Urban Systems works closely with communities on projects such as civil infrastructure design, transportation planning, land use planning, community engagement, and clean energy feasibility studies, helping build vibrant and resilient communities.
During the evening we will also be hosting a raffle sponsored by Urban Systems, with prizes including two company swag bags and two gift cards to local retailers.
Come out, meet others in the local geospatial community, and enjoy a relaxed evening of conversation.
These events are free and open to everyone.
