Join SNHU & Esri as we celebrate Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Day! Esri builds the leading mapping and spatial analytics software designed to support the mission and business objectives of organizations around the globe.

GIS Day is a global initiative to showcase how GIS is used to solve real-world problems and improve our understanding of the world. Today’s geospatial thinkers are increasingly “geo-generalists”—individuals who apply spatial thinking across many disciplines. From public health to marketing, from climate science to logistics, GIS is becoming a core competency for professionals in a wide range of fields. This theme celebrates the expanding influence of GIS and the professionals who bridge disciplines to solve complex, real-world challenges using spatial insight.

12-1pm ET: Keynote “GIS is for Everyone” – Join Esri’s keynote presentation to kick off the day of events and bring awareness to SNHU students, faculty, and staff about what GIS is and how it’s used across industries
