November 20 is the 25th Annual National GIS Day! | |
Mapping Minds, Shaping the World
This year’s theme highlights how geographic information system (GIS) technology has changed the way we understand, navigate, and shape our world. Together, human creativity and technology help us discover hidden trends, spur sustainable growth, and make smarter decisions. GIS Day is dedicated to sharing, teaching, and inspiring others with GIS. Esri president and cofounder Jack Dangermond credits activist Ralph Nader as the person who inspired the first formal GIS Day in 1999. There are several events going on in the region celebrating National GIS Day if you want to learn more.
