#AmericanSouth Roundtable | Site Visits and RFIs

Tuesday, January 12, 2027
2:00 PM - 3:00 PM (EST)

Join Us Virtually | Site Visits and RFIs

Event Details

Join fellow economic development professionals for an interactive discussion on how technology is changing the way communities approach site visits and Requests for Information (RFIs). Facilitated by Ron Bertasi and Michael Cleary of GIS WebTech, this roundtable will explore the growing role of virtual site visits as another important component of modern site selection, how technology can help communities prepare and respond to RFIs more efficiently, and how to ensure the accuracy and reliability of information, particularly when using AI to access and organize public data. Together, we’ll discuss best practices for preparing for virtual site visits, leveraging technology effectively, and maintaining the quality and credibility of your community's information throughout the site selection process.

Come ready to participate! This roundtable is designed for open, candid conversation, so bring your experiences, questions, and ideas. Share how your community is adapting to new technologies, discuss what's working (and what isn't), and learn from how your colleagues are approaching site visits and RFIs in an increasingly digital environment. This session will neither be recorded nor transcribed.
