Cost-conscious Digital Innovation and Outreach

Meaningful digital innovation does not always mean new tools—it often means using existing ones more strategically. This session demonstrates how thoughtful development and reuse of assets, including the ESRI StoryMaps platform, and strategic development can drive innovation in environments with reduced funding and limited staff capacity. Using Bison: Standing Strong and the Bison Roadtrip as case studies, presenters share practical, proven methods for turning one digital project into sustained, multi-platform outreach that maximizes impact while minimizing cost and labor.
