Over the past 15-years, the Geoprofessional Business Association’s (GBA's) Emerging Issues and Trends Committee (EIT Committee) has held a series of Crystal Ball Workshops to identify long-term emerging issues and business trends, and their potential impacts on the organization’s member firms.

Workshops have accurately foreseen consolidation trends in our industry, as well as many of the impacts from demographic and economic shifts that geoprofessionals have experienced.
