Gadgets Workshop Session

One of the most anticipated and highly attended sessions of the Institute has been the Gadgets Workshop session. This workshop was created to essentially “Show and Tell” what park technicians and professionals in the field have invented or created to use as a tool to perform their job or solve a recurring problem. A variety of inexpensive ideas that attendees use to make jobs easier and quicker have been presented at this workshop over the years.

To be able to do this presentation each year requires participation from as many agencies as possible.  Participation can involve one idea or several; it can be as short as a few minutes to a twenty-minute video or PowerPoint presentation. We also strongly encourage you to bring the gadget in to share with other attendees at the workshop session. 

Agencies and park personnel are invited to submit a gadget to be presented at the GLPTI Gadgets Workshop session. Repeat presentations from all agencies and park personnel are invited every year.

If you would like to present a gadget at this year's session, please contact the Gadget Session coordinating chair:
