We Get Around Network Acquired by Tom Sparks from Founder Dan Smigrod
After more than a decade as founder, managing editor, and publisher of the We Get Around Network, Dan Smigrod announces the next chapter in WGAN’s history.
Effective January 1, 2026, ownership of We Get Around Network has transitioned to long-time WGAN member and contributor Tom Sparks, Principal of Sparks Media Group, through WGAN Holdings Inc.
Tom is now the owner, managing editor, and publisher of We Get Around Network—and the new host of the WGAN-TV Podcast.
This is a change in leadership, not a change in DNA.
Everything the community relies on remains in place:
► The WGAN Forum and its 100,000+ posts
► WGAN-TV Podcast and WGAN-TV Training U
► WGAN MarketPlace and Marketing Partner programs
► Find a Service Provider Map
► Existing memberships, subscriptions, logins, and content
WGAN continues to be the trusted, cross-platform knowledge base for digital twins, 3D/360 cameras, real estate media, and the tools and services professionals use every day.
Why Tom Sparks
Tom is a working real estate photographer and media business owner who actively uses Matterport, iGUIDE, Giraffe360, InnoDraw, SIMLAB, InsideMaps, and related platforms in the field. He brings hands-on experience, editorial credibility, and operational leadership—combined with a clear vision to expand education, deepen technical coverage, and grow vendor partnerships.
What’s Next
Under Tom’s leadership, WGAN will:
► Expand practical, field-tested content
► Strengthen marketing partner programs
► Go deeper into digital twins and AI-driven workflows
► Continue delivering trusted insights that help members succeed faster
Dan Smigrod’s Next Chapter
Dan transitions into an advisor role to support a smooth handoff and knowledge transfer. While stepping back from daily publishing, he will continue to appear for select projects, special episodes, and deep dives—while finally reclaiming time for travel, creativity, and exploration in AI and robotics.
