GIS Day provides an international forum for users of geographic information systems (GIS) technology to demonstrate real-world applications that are making a difference in our society.
Over 18 years ago, consumer advocate Ralph Nader presented an idea to Esri founder and president Jack Dangermond: dedicate one day to show how geographic intelligence touches everyone. That led to the establishment of the first GIS Day in 1999. The explosion of geospatial technology since then has expanded that idea into a global event that demonstrates how far GIS extends into people's lives, and a forum for users to showcase their unique GIS accomplishments.
This is an amazing event where all our users around the world get together to appreciate each other's work, whether it's jumping to action as first responders in flood zones and wildfires, or finding the best place to open a new business," said Dangermond. "We should be proud of the achievements our users make in the field of GIS, and this is a way to celebrate that. So thank you for all your work".
GSS Night @ KSU is our yearly gathering to celebrate All Things Geospatial! Students, faculty, alumni, and geospatial professionals to come together to appreciate, commemorate and commend individuals who work and study in the fields of GIS, remote sensing, cartography, land surveying and more.
Here is your opportunity to demonstrate your commitment to the KSU geospatial program and to the geospatial community in the metro Atlanta area. With your help, we can keep the support this yearly tradition and our students that become the next geospatial workforce. *All monies go to the GSS Night @ KSU fund.
