About
GIS Day is an international celebration of geographic information systems (GIS) technology. GIS is a scientific framework for gathering, analyzing, and visualizing geographic data to help us make better decisions. On GIS Day, we hope to help others learn about geography and the real-world applications of GIS through lightning presentations and GIS workshops.
Detroit has been a hotbed of geospatial data collection, innovative GIS projects, and new applications in GIS for cities.
