technology is deeply technical in nature, business students need to understand
its strategic impact on the world around them. Join us for an informal sharing
session where we look beyond technical architecture to explore real-world
relevance and the purpose behind spatial data.</span></font></p><div style="margin-left:40px"><font size="2"><span style="line-height:107%;font-family:arial,sans-serif">In this session, Kan
will share the teaching philosophy he found most effective for sparking
curiosity by helping students recognize the invisible spatial technology
powering the organizations they engage with every day. When students begin to
see GIS everywhere in places like their favorite retail apps and global supply
chains, they move from simply learning a technical skill to understanding why
organizations depend on spatial intelligence for long-term survival and
competitiveness.</span><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif">
