This event is the largest showcase of how Geographic Information Systems are used in the City of Houston and surrounding areas. For two days, business people, educators, students, and the general public are given a free access pass to products and services that encompass GIS. Since its debut 6 years ago, this event has grown steadily, achieving a prominent position in the field of GIS with public, private and governmental agencies. The Houston GIS Day event has received national recognition at the Annual ESRI User Conference. In 2008, the Students Day event alone brought in over 350 students and educators from the Houston Independent School District. Prizes were awarded for school essay projects and GIS Mentorship Projects.
Mentors and Sponsors are greatly needed. If you are a GIS professional in the Houston Area please take the time to review the information about the Student Mentorship Program. This program is a great way to provide knowledge of GIS for the next generation. The Mentorship Program is a very rewarding experience for everyone involved.
Sponsors are needed to supply funds for the student day events. If you or your company would like to help please review the Sponsorship Information. This is a great way to get involved in the events. Your company will be featured on this website and in all of the GIS Day publications.
