Mark your calendar for the next GIS Day
GIS is a scientific framework for gathering, analyzing, and visualizing geographic data to help us make better decisions. On GIS Day, help others learn about geography and the real-world applications of GIS that make a difference in our society. It's a chance to share your accomplishments and inspire others to discover and use GIS.
GIS Day is an opportunity for GIS professionals and organizations to highlight their work and share the amazing things they are doing via fun, educational grassroots events.
GIS touches people’s lives daily, yet many are still unaware of its power and pervasiveness. Invite others to see how you're using GIS to understand the world and make better decisions.
Every map has a story to tell and the potential to make a difference. Show off your impactful maps and demonstrate to your audience how they can use GIS to tell their own stories.
GIS Day is a day dedicated to showing, teaching, and inspiring others. Spread enthusiasm and help people learn how to use GIS for themselves—in their work, in their schools, where they volunteer, or even for their hobbies and interests.
Hold an event for your organization, speak at a school, or host an in-person or online gathering for your entire community. The choice is yours. GIS Day will be observed on November 15, 2023, but you can host an event on another date if that works better for you.
Host a career day or interdepartmental event showing how GIS supports science and technology across a variety of fields and disciplines.
Invite the public to see how different groups in your community use GIS to make the city run smoothly.
Introduce GIS to the next generation of problem-solvers with interactive presentations and hands-on activities.
Hold a workshop or open house to show your colleagues and community how your company uses GIS to achieve its mission.
