BeSpatial Ontario is excited to announce the upcoming, in-person event to be held in Cambridge, Ontario on September 23, 2026 at the Cambridge Hotel and Conference Centre.
BEYOND TECHNOLOGY: LEADING GEOSPATIAL AS AN ENTERPRISE SYSTEM FOR COMMUNITY OUTCOMES
This is a unique opportunity to gain insight and experience in a variety of fields about the transformative power of location intelligence. Far more than a mere set of tools, geospatial services serve as critical enterprise infrastructure—requiring visionary leadership, strong governance, and intentional design to deliver long-term organizational value.
This forum challenges leaders to look beyond the technology itself and view GIS as a scalable, enduring enterprise system that aligns perfectly with mission and strategy. Together, we will focus on the practical application of these systems, exploring how leaders can design, govern, and scale GIS to directly support smarter decision-making, efficient service delivery, and impactful organizational outcomes.
Join us in fostering a community where knowledge is shared, connections are made, and new strategic ideas are born. Your attendance can make a significant impact on driving forward the conversation on how spatial data can empower us all. This full-day event will feature insightful presentations, numerous learning opportunities, and organized networking with local, like-minded individuals.
Your contribution and support plays a crucial role in supporting this geospatial community event and ensuring its success.
