Join me for my annual GIS Day live webcast
Join me for my annual GIS Day Live Webcast, where I will celebrate, discuss, and illustrate what people around the world are doing with Geographic Information Systems. This webcast will include geo-songs, geo-quizzes, the definition of and impact of GIS to build a better world, and much more. Yes, it will be recorded and published for those who wish to dig deeper into the links I share, or who are not able to join me in the live webcast.
Important: This will be held the day before the official GIS Day, in part so that you all can host your own events or attend someone else’s event on GIS Day. I am also conducting my live webcast on this particular day because I will be spending the rest of the week with the wonderful faculty and students at Texas Tech University.
The live webcast will take place on Tuesday 19 November 2024, at 6:00 pm (1800) USA Eastern Time, 4:00pm (1600) USA Mountain Time, and 3:00pm (1500) USA Pacific Time.
