About us
The Ottawa GoGeomatics Group meets each month to talk about jobs and business opportunities in Ottawa. As well we all just love to talk surveying, GIS and remote sensing. It’s a informal get together where we have a pint and and network. You will meet professionals, students, business owners, entrepreneurs, and recruiters at these events. They have no cost and no formal structure. We just get together. Local Ottawa Geomatics businesses come to network and even look for candidates at these socials. As well many businesses are able to share ideas on new business opportunities with fellow entrepreneurs. You never know who might show up!
