Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Day is an international event where users of GIS are encouraged to open their doors and share how they use this technology.
For years, ETIS and the Geospatial Center have hosted an annual GIS Day event on campus. See GIS Day agendas and photos from previous years.
This year, we are hosting an in-person event on Wednesday, November 20, 2024.
