Download iCal FileJoin us for GIS Day at UIC in honor of 25 years of GIS excellence! On Nov. 15, UIC and related professionals will have a chance to share the work they are doing with geographic information systems (GIS). The event features a morning of presentations and discussions, a networking session over lunch and two workshops in the afternoon.
GIS is a technology that is used to create, manage, analyze and map all types of data. GIS connects data to a map, integrating location data (where things are) with all types of descriptive information (what things are like there). This provides a foundation for mapping and analysis that is used in science and almost every industry. GIS helps users understand patterns, relationships and geographic context. The benefits include improved communication, efficiency, management, and decision-making.
