Survey and Save the Date
The OGC Canada Forum is back! Scheduled as part of the 129th OGC Member Meeting in Montreal, join us in person or remotely to contribute to the Canadian Geospatial Community. All Canadian organizations and those operating in Canada are welcome to participate, whether members or non-members of OGC. Canada Forum sessions will be held on June 17 and 18, 2024.

The Forum aims to boost collaboration among stakeholders to address Canada's geospatial needs by focusing on capacity building, innovation, standards and economic growth. Attendees can expect discussions on current and future geospatial issues potentially affecting the overall community and assisting in planning ways to overcome issues.

As we gear up for this upcoming event, we are contacting potential attendees for their input on discussion topics. The goal is to facilitate engaging conversations and develop actionable items for 2024-2026. A friendly reminder that this survey is for gathering feedback, not for event registration. Your comments and information will be used solely for planning purposes. We would appreciate your sharing your feedback by May 17th, 2024. For any inquiries, please contact us at membership@ogc.org.
