GIS Days in Canada 2021
When is GIS Days? November 15 – 19, from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. each day (come and go as you please)
What is GIS Days? GIS Days offer you the chance to learn more about geography, mapping and real-world applications of GIS that impact our communities. Drop in and out depending on what presentations pique your interest and listen to presenters from around the world.
Who can attend? Everyone from anywhere in the world is welcome to attend GIS Days, whether you’re a high school student, university staff, faculty, graduate, undergraduate or community member. Not technical? That’s okay, presentations will be offered by a variety of speakers ranging from GIS professionals to GIS newbies. Short lightning talks (7-min) offer you a quick taste of a topic, while longer demonstrations (20-min) and tutorials (1-hr) provide a deeper dive into a GIS project or software.
GIS Days 2021 is truly a global event, with presenters joining us (virtually) from South Korea, Scotland, Northwest Territories Canada, and more! Presentation topics range from the Geography of Pokémon Go to underwater gliders, from COVID-19 dashboards to galaxy mapping.
The event is entirely free to attend and will include virtual door prizes, as well as prizes for the Geography-Themed Trivia evening.
