The January issue of the American Public Works Association’s (APWA) magazine, APWA Reporter, is out. This issue is dedicated to Technology. Public Works is a location-based business, as such, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) is foundational technology to support the mission. GIS is the mission-critical enterprise IT system that is designed to turn location data into insight that fuels better efficiencies and decision making. The importance of GIS in public works is echoed throughout this month’s magazine.

The American Public Works Association’s 2024 PWX Conference was September 8-10 in Atlanta, Georgia. Thousands of Public Works professionals from across the globe convened to learn, share, network, compete, and have some fun supporting the theme of Advancing Quality of Life for All. As we have for decades, Esri was there to support this important event in many ways. We presented, participated in APWA leadership for the newly formed Technology Committee, and met with our partners and users at our booth sharing how GIS is powering Next Generation Public Works.
