GIS Day (November 18) is an international celebration of this scientific framework often implemented by using software for gathering, analyzing, and visualizing geographic or georeferenced data.
GIS enthusiasts from the University of Pittsburgh, Carnegie Mellon University, and a number of community organizations like Draw The Lines have organized several exciting events for GIS Day. Please explore gisdaypgh.com and check out the event descriptions.
