Posted By: Chris Dickerson Annual Conference,

We're thrilled to announce that Frank Romo, the dynamic CEO of RomoGIS, will be a featured speaker at our Annual Conference! Frank’s journey from a community organizer to a geospatial professional is nothing short of inspiring. Here's why you should be excited:

  • Community Advocate with a Cause: Frank has a rich history of using GIS and urban planning to fuel social change. From food justice in LA to disaster recovery work across major cities, he's always worked to empower communities.
  • Innovative Educator: He sees GIS as a tool for empowerment, not just a technological solution. His projects, like community mapping workshops and high school drone programs, build leadership and skills in the next generation.
  • Visionary Leadership: RomoGIS isn’t just about maps; it’s about creating tangible change. Whether helping students design a safe route to school app or engaging nonprofits to map and act on gun violence data, Frank’s work is about impact.

Frank’s work is all about showing how GIS can make a difference—don’t miss this opportunity to hear from a leader who uses geospatial technology to create actionable change! Join us to get inspired and learn how you too can leverage GIS for social justice and community empowerment! Explore how GIS intertwines with social justice, empowering communities, and maybe envision how your projects might further contribute to this growing movement.
