GIS Day Savannah 2010 is less than 2 months away!

This year is going to be our biggest and best event yet!  With an overwhelming response from our local schools, we have over 300 students scheduled to participate in GIS Day Savannah on November 17.  Once again, students will meet a variety of regional GIS  professionals and learn how they use the technology every day in our community.  In addition, students will participate in an introductory hands-on GIS activity and learn to navigate using a compass in the Compass Circle.  Local professionals, college students, and the general public are invited to learn more about GIS from 2-3 pm in the afternoon.  Check this site regularly for updates on the event, sponsors, and participants!
