ESRI in South Africa

Question

Good day, im a student in South Africa and ive just completed a whole 6 months course on GIS, using ArcGIS Pro. my Question is how can we raise awareness about this beautiful tool within our country and intergrate it into other professions because it is applicable to every profession?

Hello @BrilliantNtshangule, congrats on finishing your GIS course!

You ask a great question: raising awareness to the incredible things GIS allows users to do has always, and will always be a core value for Esri and the Esri Community.

One idea for an individual user like you would be to participate in GIS Day, which is November 20th, 2024. Its a great chance to share some of your GIS work with other like-minded users, and to take inspiration from other projects! I'm sure you've been asked the question "oh, GIS, what is that?" - by answering this question to people in your community, you are most certainly helping to raise awareness to the power of GIS, and the Science of Where!
