GIS DayJoin the Spatial Data Management team in celebrating GIS Day!

GIS Day is a day to celebrate the technology of Geographic Information Systems in all its various fields, as well as bring awareness to GIS users’ projects and innovation. The first-ever GIS Day was organized by ESRI in 1999 as a grassroots effort to grow the understanding of GIS. In that same year, GIS Day was officially included in National Geographic Society’s Geography awareness week.

Attendees of this free event will discover ways that GIS innovations are impacting MSU while also learning about GIS and how it may benefit their work. This event would benefit anyone that works with data or those looking to find more efficiencies in their everyday workflow or specific task. Attendees will be entered in a giveaway of 5 Personal-Use licenses from ESRI.
