Are you looking for a way to get your foot in the door for your next GIS job opportunity? Are you looking for a way to stand out from the crowd? Or maybe you're just looking for a way to share your hard work with the world. Whatever your reason, a professional GIS Portfolio is a great way to show what you can do and share who you are in a unique way. This presentation will go into what a GIS portfolio is, why you should create one, and how to start building a great collection.

Presenter: Kate Berg is GIS lead at the State of Michigan’s Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE), where she wears many hats including GIS administrator, open maps and data wrangler, project consultant, and geospatial educator. When she's not wearing those hats, she's wearing a 7mm hood so she can scuba dive a local Michigan shipwreck. You can find her on Twitter (@pokateo_) creating and sharing original maprelated memes as a way to unite and uplift the geospatial community. Her innovative professional GIS portfolio has been featured on Esri Canada's "GIS Wow" show, Esri's Education Blog, and GIS Lounge.
