Meetings and Workshops
The Pine to Prairie GIS User Group holds quarterly meetings and workshops. The purpose of these events is to bring GIS users together for educational opportunities, training, networking, project/product demonstrations and socialization. Meetings and workshops are typically held on the first Wednesday of the month in March, June, September and December. The location of the meetings and workshops will generally be at the offices of West Central Initiative in Fergus Falls, Minnesota.

Meeting/workshop agendas typically look like this:

10:00 - 11:00 Business meeting of the P2P GIS User Group
11:00 - 12:00 Demos/networking opportunity
12:00 - 1:00 Lunch (on your own)
1:00 - 3:30 Presentations

The above meeting/workshop format is subject to change based upon the content of each event, but that's the general format that is used

The structure of this meetings and workshops is arranged so those that can only attend for a half day can still bring away with them new information related to GIS as well as the opportunity to connect with other GIS Professionals and GIS users.

Everyone recognizes the need to provide educational opportunities to employees to help stay current in technological advances in the workplace. By working together at a regional level we can help meet those needs through these locally organized workshop opportunities.
