Register for UIC GIS Day 2019
Register for UIC GIS Day 2019: Poster submission deadline is November 15!
Join the Urban Data Visualization Lab (UDVL) and the University Library on Friday, November 22nd, 2019, from 10:00 am – 3:00 pm to celebrate GIS Day 2019 at the Richard J. Daley Library (1-470). This event is open to the public, and made possible through the generous support of the Sööt Family Fund.
GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and visualization techniques allow us to organize, analyze, and communicate data. This year, GIS Day will showcase a range of techniques exploring different aspects of Community and Global Disparities. UIC GIS Day 2019 will include a keynote speaker, talks, a panel, a poster session and competition, and a hands on-workshop. Poster winners will be awarded an individual ArcGIS Personal Use license, and free GIS training from UrbanGIS! Submit your poster abstracts by November 15, 2019.
GIS Day at UIC brings an opportunity to learn about innovative techniques and impactful applications, and network with others interested in or working on a range of visualization approaches to classwork, research or professional activities.
