GIS Day Activities
Our event will begin with brief lightning talks from a wide variety of Northwest Arkansas GIS users. The topics will focus on GIS technologies, spatial applications and other innovative solutions benefiting the Northwest Arkansas region.

Light Refreshements provided
Refreshments will be provided but feel free to bring your "brown bag" lunch and listen to our locals talk about their work or network with fellow GIS users with interests in maps and spatial technologies.

Additional Activities
Browse maps, posters, share technical tips or just socialize with your peers. We'll have a map-centric game(s) in the afternoon, as it was a crowd favorite last year.

GIS Day offers an opportunity to socialize with others using geographic information systems or related technologies while they celebrate the impact of mapping to our society. Whether you're a seasoned mapper or simply curious about what GIS users do, this GIS day community event will begin at 10 a.m. on Nov. 19 in the Community Room of the Fayetteville Police Station.

We hope to see you there!
