Inspire others with your work through the GIS Success Stories program
Have you used GIS to solve a problem or transform your organization? Want to see your app featured on Esri Canada’s social media pages? Maybe you’ve worked on a GIS-related map, app or project lately and have learned important lessons that you’d like to share with the wider GIS community. Either way, we want to hear about your work! Submit your work to Esri Canada’s GIS Success Stories program to have it considered for a feature on Esri Canada’s digital channels.
What is the GIS Success Stories program?
The Esri Canada GIS Success Stories program is a way for our Canadian user community to share their successes, lessons learned and innovative solutions through Esri Canada’s digital platforms. By sharing what you’ve learned in your work, you’re helping build a stronger user community in Canada.
We’re actively considering user stories for features on the following platforms:
- Our social media platforms (LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram)
- Special events (e.g. GIS Day in Canada)
- The Esri Canada Blog and the Esri Canada Resource Hub
- Our YouTube channel
- Our podcasts: Geographical Thinking and Spatial Report
- Esri, Esri Canada and industry awards
We want to share your story, celebrate your hard work and bring your projects to a wide audience!
Who should submit their story?
We’re looking for stories from Esri Canada customers of all sizes and from all industries.
What do stories look like once they’re published?
