I'm proud to announce the agenda for the 2019 GIS Managers' Open Summit (GISMOS) at the Esri International User Conference on Tuesday, July 9th. This is the 10th annual GISMOS and looks to be one of the best. A huge shout out to the presenters: Eric John Abrams, Brandi Rank and Marvin Davis. If you are headed to the User Conference and want to learn proven, real-world strategies focusing on the people/culture/business side of GIS, then please consider attending & participating in GISMOS. Attendees need to register, but there is no additional cost. I hope to see you there! UPDATE - 6/24/2019 - Added link to GIS Manager Track, updated schedule times, added Project Management in GIS Special Interest Group, and added Cobb Co., GA Executive/Elected Official Panel Discussion. UPDATE - 6/12/2019 - The location of GISMOS has changed. It is now in the Indigo Ballroom in the Hilton Bayfront at 1 Park Blvd., San Diego, CA 92101 (adjacent to the San Diego Convention Center).

Brian: Thanks for the shout out. Here are some ideas: You should check into ArcGIS Monitor, it may provide you with the capabilities you are looking for: https://www.esri.com/en-us/arcgis/products/arcgis-monitor/overview Attached is an example of an ArcGIS Operations Dashboard deployed by Johnson City, TN that shows statistics from their GIS. This may be what you are looking for. If so, we can connect you with them. Here is a link to a Story Map from Kenton Co., KY on their integration of ArcGIS and OpenGov to track their work: https://arcg.is/0HXauL I understand your need to show value, I think GDB statistics are good, but that’s hard for an executive to understand. Just because you’re busy, doesn’t mean you are providing value. I would suggest focusing on some real, tangible ROI numbers. Check out this presentation from Wade Kloos on GIS ROI: https://youtu.be/Mne2U9bFVVA Think about sharing your stories of success on social media (Twitter, LinkedIn) or using a blog like Kenton Co., KY does: https://linkgis.org/ or as part of an open data web site like this one from Lake Co., FL: https://geohub-lcgis.opendata.arcgis.com/pages/gis-case-studies You should also at least once a year present to the leaders in your organization on your annual accomplishments and the plans for next year. Some of our users do this using a Story Map. I hope this helps. Please let me know if there is anything else I may do to assist.
