GIS Day!

Map with GIS text

GIS Day is an annual event for students, staff, faculty and the broader community to learn more Âé¶¹Ó³»­ Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and to celebrate the power of geospatial analysis and visualization in answering research questions and solving real-world problems. This year, GIS Day is happening on Wednesday, Nov. 18.

In the past, we’ve hosted in-person GIS Day events, but the first important change for this year is that we’re going virtual!

A virtual GIS Day provides us with a great opportunity to broaden participation in the program. This year our GIS Day 2020 program will be a collaboration between Case Âé¶¹Ó³»­, The Ohio State University and the University of Cincinnati. Get ready for 3C GIS Day!

We look forward to an exciting program that will include:

Lightning Talks

  • Learn Âé¶¹Ó³»­ the application of geospatial technologies in a wide variety of disciplines from faculty, staff, students and GIS professionals across Ohio’s 3C Corridor (Cleveland, Columbus and Cincinnati).

StoryMaps Showcase

  • We’re inviting any students, staff and faculty affiliated with Case Âé¶¹Ó³»­, The Ohio State University and the University of Cincinnati to create and submit ArcGIS StoryMaps to showcase their work on GIS Day and beyond.

Professional Networking

  • We will provide a venue for GIS professionals, researchers and students from across Ohio to connect with one another and discuss experiences, opportunities and current topics of interest in the world of geospatial.
