What’s GIS, and Why Does It Matter?
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) help us better understand the world around us. This tool helps us understand and visualize information based on location. It is like a smart map that can do more than just show you where things are. It can also tell you what’s happening there, how things are connected, and help people make better decisions.

Discover how state and local governments use GIS to tackle everyday challenges and explore cutting-edge GIS technologies.

What to Expect:

Hands-on learning stations

Live technology demos

Cool mapping tools in action

A chance to chat with GIS professionals
