Supported by an all volunteer staff, a volunteer Board of Directors and Advisory Council,  SCGIS hosts an annual conference that features discussion panels on the integration of GIS and conservation science, user group meetings, hands-on training sessions, and workshops. This Annual Conference, led by an all-volunteer Conference Committee, is recognized as a one-of-a-kind event that attracts GIS conservationists from all over the world. Technical seminar programs that are offered before and after the conference are especially popular; members who participate in the training and conference often report that their involvement has changed their lives. Published & filmed proceedings and Interviews have been created for member access since 2016 by the Scgis Camera Team.  The Scgis Communications & Website committees support the official website with member-exclusive content including hundreds of technical workshops, conference proceedings & webinars.  The SCGIS Global Committee oversees dozens of international chapters (as of 2019), an annual competitive Scholarship Program, and a growing global network of certified Conservation GIS Trainers.
