The Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) is an international consortium of more than 500 businesses, government agencies, research organizations, and universities ... but why should you care? 
 
Maybe because this community is defining the future of geospatial infrastructure across all verticals!
 
Maybe because they are determining a set of "the best practices" when it comes to solving big problems like climate change.
 
Or ... if you have a business ... maybe because joining the OGC membership might just be the greatest marketing hack in the geospatial industry ;)
