This year’s Connecticut GIS Day event is scheduled for Friday, November, 16, from 9 AM to 3 PM at the Marine Sciences Building at the University of Connecticut Avery Point Campus. The keynote speaker will be DANA TOMLIN, credited with the creation of Map Algebra! If you were lucky enough to attend the Spring NEARC event at Smith College and hear his presentation, then you already know that Dana is well worth hearing! This is also a great venue to present a poster or presentation as well as network with GIS users from state agencies, regional planning agencies, municipalities, non-profits, universities, and organizations from across the state of Connecticut. Included below are details on the call for posters, presentations, and table displays:

We are officially launching our call for presentations and posters for GIS Day. The presentations should discuss a GIS project, tool, custom process, or similarly themed topic. We are looking for a 15 minute presentation with 5 additional minutes for questions and answers. Posters are also sought. They must be mounted on some sort of rigid material (i.e. foam board, etc.), approximately 24” x 36” in size (slightly larger will be accepted, but no smaller). Also, NEW this year, we are looking for poster presentations (5 minutes in length) from GIS or related subject students from Connecticut Universities. If you are looking for GISP points, this could be a great way to add to your total!

If you are interested in participating or have additional questions, please feel free to Thad Dymkowski at TDymkowski@NewingtonCT.Gov
