It's a Wrap!

A fifth successful EnerGIS conference has ended, but the results of a collaborative effort of all involved remain.

Over the past five years EnerGIS has been able to provide an educational networking experience to nearly 1,000 geospatial practitioners, award $19,000 in scholarships, and provide $2,500 to the Greater Washington County Food Bank. None of this would have been possible without the support of our host, Range Resources Corporation and the assistance of GITA.  Everyone involved is looking forward to a continued partnership for another great conference in 2018! 

GITA Wishes Everyone a Happy Fourth of July!
