GIS Day Savannah is an annual event to introduce GIS education to our local school children and promote the capabilities and use of GIS to the general business community. GIS Day is celebrated internationally as part of National Geographic’s International Geography Week. SAGIS and the sponsors of this event are proud to invite Chatham County middle school students to the morning program, with area business owners, staff, GIS users, and local citizens invited to attend the afternoon session.
Students and citizens will have the chance to see GIS in action in our community.
This year marks GIS Day’s eleventh anniversary nationally, and Savannah’s third, so please join with us in the celebration and become part of this annual tradition:

We are getting closer every day now. The first of November is Sunday and that means we only have 17 days to go. We are going to have another great event and I think the kids will enjoy themselves.
The team has some really great ideas and events planned out for all attendees. Although it is going to be different than from years past the event is still going to be exciting. We have events to show what gis is and others to show how it is used in real life applications. Check back here regularly to see more on our event.
