panel discussion - gisp or esri certification

Summit

Are you a GIS professional thinking about adding a certification? Which one should you choose? What are the pros/cons of each? What do employers think about certification? Our panelists will introduce the GIS-P (Keith Weber) and Esri (Nathalie Smith) certification and hiring managers (Garry Beaty, CIO, City of Boise and Alan Smith, GIS Manager, WSDOT) will discuss the value they see in certifications when making hiring decisions. The panelists will then take your questions about certification.
