January 2017 is going to be a month to remember. Join us as we celebrate the living legends of the geospatial industry. The pioneers whose passion, vision, knowledge, leadership, and business acumen have brought our community closer to the core of human lives and endeavors. Each of these individuals represents the uniqueness, the innovativeness and the diversity of the geospatial industry. They're as iconic as they're unforgettable. In a world where location is becoming fundamental to all decision-making, these individuals have not only taken our industry to new heights, but have also made the term 'geospatial' a term of common man!
They inspire us to innovate, and motivate us to work towards making the world a better place. We salute these extraordinary leaders who took the road not taken and did the impossible – took geospatial technologies out of research labs in limited sectors and introduced it into our everyday chores.
