GIS Day
Wednesday, Nov. 15 | 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. | CMU Ballroom
GIS Day is an international celebration showcasing real-world applications of geographic information systems (GIS), providing a forum to explore the benefits of GIS and build local GIS communities. The celebration will include a variety of talks, displays, and informational tables about how this cross-disciplinary technology is being used to visualize and analyze diverse types of spatial data. There will be something for everyone, whether you are new to GIS or already utilizing geospatial technology. Check out this short video to see what MSUM’s GIS Day is all about!
