Über uns

Connector and community builder and Canadian geospatial sector promoter and 5th generation entrepreneur.

I’m the founder of several community-building and sector-promotion initiatives in Canada.
I publish the GoGeomatics Online Magazine and the Canadian Spatial Times weekly Newsletter.
www.goeomatics.ca

I founded the GoGeomatics Canada Network with over 4,000 members and 12 groups from coast to coast, meeting in cities like Vancouver, Victoria, Kelowna, Calgary, Edmonton, Regina, Niagara, Kitchener Waterloo, Toronto, Kingston, Ottawa, and Halifax.

Much of my efforts involve either introducing companies to Canada's geospatial marketplace or helping Canadian companies raise their profiles and brand awareness internationally.
It is an honour to have been inducted as a fellow of the Royal Canadian Geographical Society.

I’m the chair and founder of GeoIgnite, Canada’s national leadership conference.

Geoff Zeiss and I founded the SUMSF online event. In 2022, at Geoff's request, I took over publishing Between the Poles, the world's premier underground infrastructure mapping blog.

As a geospatial career coach, I help mentor and guide the next generation of leaders in our community.

Through supply arrangements with the federal government of Canada, GoGeomatics can help government departments and geospatial experts meet and work together through contracting.

I am the author of a career guide for international geospatial professionals seeking employment in Canada in GIS, remote sensing, surveying, geodesy, and geomatics engineering.

I'd love to work with you on your goals within the Canadian geomatics sector. Please connect with me on LinkedIn.

Thanks! ~ Jonathan Murphy
