In 2024, GBS Inc. worked to revise these existing publications, however, most of its efforts were focused on the development of its new book, Big History of Martha's Vineyard, which is scheduled for publication in 2025 and will be the subject of increased promotional efforts and wider distribution.-$57,360
GeoBook Studio Inc. (GBS Inc.)'s secondary program service is presentations and conference participation. In 2024, three GBS Inc. team members attended the International Big History Association Conference (IBHA) in Norman, OK, delivering two presentations as part of the conference's programming. GBS Inc.'s objective through this programming is to further achieve its mission and strengthen the discipline of Big History by sharing its approach with other colleagues in the field, as well as to strengthen its work by learning from other experts. This year's conference had 45 total attendees, and the GBS Inc. team had valuable interactions with nearly all fellow attendees, contributing to the field and improving organizational knowledge and connections. GBS Inc. also engages in the ongoing IBHA Teaching Group meeting series, which is regularly attended by approximately 10 colleagues.-$14,463
