GIS Day is a grassroots event that formalizes the practice of geographic information systems (GIS) users and vendors of opening their doors to schools, businesses, and the general public to showcase real-world applications of this important technology. (www.gisday.com)
There are currently more than 2,000,000 GIS users in the world, but most of the public is unaware of this technology and how it affects their lives.
GIS Day is a great opportunity for users to share their work with other people in their organization as well as with managers, students, visitors, and their community as a whole.
