GIS Day Is Coming Very Soon—November 19, 2003
Are you ready to celebrate GIS Day in your community? Activities are under way throughout the world. Register your event or support an event nearby.

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.

The event is principally sponsored by the National Geographic GIS Day 2002 at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC Society, the Association of American Geographers, University Consortium for Geographic Information Science, the United States Geological Survey, The Library of Congress, Sun Microsystems, Hewlett-Packard, and ESRI.
