give a presentation titled “GIS is Everywhere - From a Business  
Perspective.”While GIS as a technology isdeeply technical in nature,  
business students need to understand its strategicimpact on the world  
around them. Join us for an informal sharing session wherewe look beyond  
technical architecture to explore real-world relevance and thepurpose  
behind spatial data.In this session, Kan willshare the teaching philosophy  
he found most effective for sparking curiosity byhelping students recognize  
the invisible spatial technology powering theorganizations they engage with  
every day. When students begin to see GIS everywherein places like their  
favorite retail apps and global supply chains, they movefrom simply  
learning a technical skill to understanding why organizationsdepend on  
spatial intelligence for long-term survival and competitiveness.Kan Wangis

experiencedriving innovation and digital transformation. As a former
