Set Up Social & Exhibitor Sneak Peek Gathering:

Volunteers Needed

Help Set Up the Conference! Join us from 5:00pm-7:00pm in the Polaris Foyer at Hilton.

Join our early-arriving attendees and exhibitors as we begin setting up the Conference Trade Show and Map Gallery. We're looking for friendly, enthusiastic volunteers to lend a hand during setup—enjoy a little networking while you're at it!  It’s a great way to meet fellow volunteers, connect with exhibitors, and get a sneak peek at the conference before it officially begins.

Stick around for a casual social gathering with light refreshments.

Join us on Sunday, September 14th, for a special Pre-conference Workshop with Ohio GIS Keynote Speaker John Nelson.
