Season 1 | Episode 16: Things They Wish They Knew Earlier

Learning from GIS Professionals – a Summer Series

We have a Young Professional Network (YPN) for those starting out in this business. It encourages discussion amongst young professionals on how to grow their careers. We are running a 3 part summer series to share a YNP round table discussion. This is the first episode of our summer series. Four experienced GIS professionals are answering questions from our young professionals. The question is -  what they know now that they wish they’d known earlier in their GIS career and how might it have changed their career choices?

Our honorable panel members:

• Joann Fox - Manager of Business Analytics Intelligence and Reporting, Edmonton Police Service
• Jeff Lamb - Partnerships and Special Projects, York Region (Ontario)
• Will Caddell -  CEO and founder of Sparkgeo Consulting
• Chris North - Director of Technology Adoption, Esri Canada
