Join this presentation to reflect on the journey of the Dutch QGIS User Group, founded in December 2019, just before the COVID-19 pandemic. Over the past five years, the group has grown to 140 individual members and 25 organizational members, fostering a vibrant community dedicated to QGIS. A key highlight of the group's activities has been organizing themed user days, which have provided valuable opportunities for knowledge sharing and networking.

This session will share the strategies that contributed to the group's success, including the impact of user days, workshops, and partnerships with educational institutions. The aim is to inspire other QGIS user groups worldwide by sharing experiences and lessons learned. Together, a global network of QGIS enthusiasts can be cultivated, driving innovation and collaboration across borders.
