November 17
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..
GIS Day is part of the National Geographic Society's exciting new initiative, Geography Action, which is a year-long initiative encompassing key educational achievements such as GIS Day and Geography Awareness Week. The theme for 2003 was "Habitats." In addition to events such as GIS Day and Geography Awareness Week, there will also be many worldwide activities supporting geography action, with their goal being to engage people in learning and caring about geography.
In 2003, hundreds of organizations hosted GIS Day events in countries all around the world. Be sure to read about some of them on the Success Stories page. Through the combined efforts of GIS Day participants, millions of children and adults were educated on GIS technology through geography.
