GIS Day is a grassroots event that formalizes the practice of geographic information system (GIS) users and vendors opening their doors to schools, businesses, and the general public to showcase real-world applications of this important technology.
GIS Day is the Wednesday of the National Geographic Society's Geography Awareness Week, which is the third week in November. Dates for upcoming GIS Days are as follows:
Wednesday, November 19, 2008
Wednesday, November 18, 2009
Wednesday, November 17, 2010
GIS Day is a global event. Organizations all over the world that use GIS, or are interested in GIS, are invited to participate by holding or sponsoring an event of their own. There are currently more than 2,000,000 GIS users in the world, but most of the public is unaware of this technology and how it affects their lives. GIS Day is also a great opportunity for users to share their work with other people in their organization as well as with managers, students, visitors, and their community as a whole.
