A partnership with GPN will raise your company's visibility, facilitate the exchange of information and ideas, and build relationships with industry leaders. The partnership is much more than sponsoring a conference or event.
GPN partners help our members (and their organizations) do their jobs better; learn; and provide content to move their careers forward.
Discover opportunities for small start-ups with a couple of employees to global software leaders with thousands of associates.
The GPN Partner Program provides distinct benefits:
Visibility as a leader in the GIS Community - engage, teach... strengthen your reputation as a thought leader.
Direct access to GPN members - active and influential in the profession and in their organizations.
Participation in the organization’s programs - the companies that are actively involved with GPN programs and who serve on committees see the most return on their membership investment.
GPN provides an abundance of marketing and promotional benefits for companies interested in connecting with the influential GPN membership. There are several levels of Partnership from Platinum to a Business category for smaller consulting firms or start-ups. If you are an individual member working for a software, service or application provider, and your company is not a partner, please speak with your marketing and business development departments about the options.
You will have a seat at the table in shaping GPN's agenda with a direct link to the Board of Directors (a Industry Partner Committee is being revitalized). Network with leadership and share valuable perspectives on industry issues. Capitalize on the opportunity to exchange ideas and propose programs that benefit both your organization and that of the GPN membership and GIS Community as a whole.
The opportunities for engagement are limitless and the levels of partnership are designed to accommodate a wide range of budgets and resources. Each partner package includes marketing benefits, in addition to membership for individuals. Additional members may be added at a reduced fee. Partners may post unlimited job postings (usually $300 each) and also post industry news, product announcements and other items to a public facing forum.
The ultimate level of corporate involvement in GPN. Platinum Corporate Partners receive the highest level of visibility in the organization with additional conference and leadership opportunities. (Estimated value appears after each item)
