What Is GIS Day?
GIS Day is an annual international celebration of Geographic Information Systems (GIS), bringing together organisations, professionals, educators and communities to showcase how spatial technology helps us better understand the world.
Held each November, GIS Day highlights the power of mapping, visualisation and location intelligence in solving real-world challenges, from environmental management and renewable energy planning to infrastructure development and emergency response. It’s an opportunity to share knowledge, inspire innovation, and demonstrate the impact of geospatial thinking across industries and everyday life.
Why GIS Matters
GIS is more than just digital maps: these systems are powerful tools for analysis, visualisation, and decision-making. Whether you’re managing infrastructure, monitoring environmental changes, or planning community developments, GIS provides actionable insights by turning complex data into clear, spatially-aware information. In today’s fast-paced world, leveraging GIS technology can give organisations a competitive edge, enabling smarter strategies and more sustainable outcomes. For more on GIS benefits, explore:
