Keeping Up With Cloudpoint
“It’s not about ideas. It’s about making ideas happen.” - Scott Belsky
Over the past few weeks, I had the opportunity to attend two large GIS conferences in Wisconsin. This post is a recap of the proceedings of both the Wisconsin Land Information Association’s (WLIA) Fall Regional Meeting and the Esri Wisconsin User Group (EWUG).
We couldn’t be happier with our experience exhibiting. We had the opportunity to talk with so many GIS users, learning about their successes and challenges, and explaining how we can help users get the most out of the ArcGIS Platform. Our booth was a hub of activity, and we were thrilled to showcase our latest projects and innovations.
Date: February 22-23, 2023
Location: Chicago, IL
Cloudpoint Attendees: Jon & Virginia
Hunter and Erin had a great trip to West Des Moines for Cloudpoint’s first foray into Iowa for a conference. The Iowa Technology and Geospatial Conference (ITAG) is a unique mash up of GIS professionals from the Iowa Geographic Information Council and IT experts from the Iowa Counties Information Technology organization. As the use of GIS continues to grow, the abilities and complexity of these systems leads it to becoming more entwined with Information Technology and services. As such, this combination of specialties are well suited for a joint conference.
We had a wonderful trip down to Branson for our first MidAmerica GIS Consortium (MAGIC) Conference! We headed down on Monday through the rain (seeing what has to be the most creative use of traffic barrels at a rest stop on I-44), and got checked in just in time to chat with some old friends at the Welcome Social and walk to dinner in downtown Branson.
Another WATERCON has come and passed, but what a show it was! Bill, Jon, Matt and even Sahara put in time at the booth during the show, and it was a good thing all of us were there, as the attendance was fantastic. Billing themselves as one of the premier conferences relating to water and waster water systems in the Midwest, the number of attendees, educational sessions, and vendors proved it.
Daniel and I made it back earlier this week from presenting and exhibiting at the Missouri Public Safety Communications Conference (MPSCC) in Branson, MO. As the push for Next Generation 9-1-1 services throughout the United Sates continues, Missouri sits primed and ready for help with their GIS data.
