Intentional Flexibility: How Fractional Work Is Reshaping Careers and Teams
The way organizations build teams and the way professionals build careers is changing. Fractional, part-time, and project-based work is no longer a stopgap. It's becoming a deliberate strategy on both sides of the work equation; the "Portfolio Career" of the future is happening now.
In this session, Stephanie Ranno draws on her work connecting experienced professionals with employers who are rethinking how they access talent. Whether you're a content strategist navigating a tough market and piecing together flexible engagements or an organization weighing whether a fractional hire could move the needle for a specific project, this session offers practical perspectives for both.
We'll explore what's driving the shift toward flexible work arrangements, how to position yourself or structure your team to make the most of it, and what it actually takes to make fractional and part-time roles work well for everyone involved.

GeoDC : June 2026 Meetup
**The next GeoDC will be held on Wednesday, June 10 from 6-9pm at Sudhouse DC (1340 U St NW, Washington, DC 20009) with the program starting at 7pm.**
* Join us early from 6-7pm to grow your network, socialize and grab drinks and appetizers.
* Throughout the evening, we'll be sharing job announcements and details of other GIS/Geo upcoming events we're tracking.
* We look forward to seeing you on the 10th!
**Our Program will feature these presentations:**
**The Secret History of the Blue Dot - William H. Tewelow, GISP (GPS World)**
This presentation takes the audience from an iconic movie scene they recognize but never understood, through the hidden origins of GPS, and returns them to the blue dot in their own hand, seeing it for the very first time. There is a blue dot on your phone right now. It knows where you are to within a few feet. You have never questioned it. You have never wondered where it came from.
You should.
Its origins are classified. Its lineage runs through the Cold War, nuclear submarines, and a doctrine built on the promise of mutual annihilation. The technology that tells you where to turn was designed for something else entirely.
The technology did not change. Only the purpose did.
**GEOINT Symposium's Golden Ticket Program - Katie Weintraub (ESRI)**
This is a firsthand account of USGIF's GEOINT Symposium Golden Ticket — a program built for early-career professionals who want to level up their careers.
Participants get free admission to GEOINT Symposium, mentorship opportunities, a network of fellow Golden Ticket alumni, and a cohort of peers to grow alongside.
This talk breaks it all down fast — what it is and why it's a stellar experience for young professionals breaking into or already working in the geospatial intelligence realm.
**From GIS to AI: Lessons from MIT’s Applied Data Science & AI Program**- **Julia Brodsky (Navy Federal Credit Union).**
A practical look at one GIS professional’s experience completing MIT’s Applied Data Science & AI Certificate program, including key takeaways, challenges, and thoughts on how AI may impact the geospatial industry.
