We put together a number of webinars for the launch of Geocortex IMF 5.2 a little while ago, and got some great feedback from clients. So, we’ve added a few more and hope to offer them on a recurring basis. Topics vary from new products to new releases to technology we feel clients and prospective customers should keep their eyes on. Check out our Learning and Education page for more information and to sign up.

New Webinars Scheduled
January 14th, 2008 by Darin HerleAdventures in Portrait Photography
December 22nd, 2007 by Steven Myhill-JonesAs a web-centric company that does predominately remote work, we have lots of customers we’ve never actually met face-to-face. Back in 2003 when we redesigned our website, we decided to use staff photos on our websites (www.geocortex.com, www.latitudegeo.com). It’s proven very popular with customers. We always hear about people hitting F5 a bunch of times to see the people they work with. We’ve even had job interviewees come in knowing everyone’s name (that always kinda weirds everyone out, actually).
Anyway, the studio photo shoots are a hassle to set-up so we hadn’t done one in a while, which meant many staff didn’t have a photo up and the posted photos were getting outdated (Drew barely looks old enough to drive a car in his old photo). A few months ago I was browsing a photography store and had the bright (but dumb) idea of buying a whole prosumer lighting kit so we could do these photos in-house. I reasoned; I love photography and it’ll be so easy to just snap a shot of new staff when they start! Easy, right? Wrong. Anyway, most of the new photos are up. I think they look okay given that we still haven’t got the flash synched properly with the digital SLR we’ve been using.
2008 IMF/Geocortex User Conference Registration Opens
December 18th, 2007 by Darin HerleRegistration for the 3rd Annual IMF/Geocortex User Conference, April 20-22nd, 2008 in Victoria, BC, is now open! To learn more and to register, head over to our user conference homepage at www.geocortex.com/uc
We look to improve our conference experience every year, and our 2008 conference is no exception. We sold out our workshops very early last year, and as a result, we’ve added additional seats this time around. Our workshops will be on the University of Victoria campus this year, and I’m told we may have a double-decker bus (which are seen regularly around town) in the works for the short shuttle up to campus! Since we’d have the bus for the day, we’re also considering combining the shuttle trip with some sightseeing for those not attending the workshops – contact us if you’re interested.
We hope to see you in Victoria in April ’08!
