GIS Day 2023: Sustainable Cities and Communities
Join the CMU Libraries GIS Services team on Wednesday November 15th to celebrate GIS Day! GIS Day is celebrated on the 3rd Wednesday of November as an international forum for users of GIS technology to demonstrate real-world applications that are making a difference in society and for people to learn more about Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and its benefits. This year CMU Libraries, Allegheny County GIS Office and Esri are hosting a day long symposium on Sustainable Cities and Communities. The day will end in an Open House with spatial themed activities and prizes! This event is open to all folks in the Pittsburgh Region. We hope this event is a day for people from across the Pittsburgh region to mingle and learn.
