Lunch
Lunch will be on your own — feel free to bring a "brown bag" lunch and connect with fellow GIS enthusiasts over shared interests in mapping and spatial technologies.

The afternoon will be a relaxed, social time. Browse posters, exchange technical tips with other GIS users or join a fun online cartography game that's sure to be entertaining!
