Share your passion and inspire the world with GIS

Happy GIS Day 2019, from Jack

Inspire the world with GIS

Participate in the international celebration of geographic information systems (GIS) technology. 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 are making a difference in our society. It’s a chance for you to share your accomplishments and inspire others to discover and use GIS.

Celebrate your work

Show off the benefits of GIS

GIS touches everyone's life daily, yet many people 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.

Tell meaningful stories

Every map has a story to tell and has the potential to make a difference. Show off your impactful maps and show your audience how they can use GIS to tell their own stories.

Enlighten and nurture your community

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 own hobbies and interests.

Host your own event

Hold an event for your organization, speak at a school, or hold a large in-person or online gathering for your entire community. The choice is yours. GIS Day 2020 will held be on November 18. However, you can host on another date if that works better for you.
