Geography Awareness Week was established in 1987 when U.S. President Ronald Reagan signed legislation that established the third week in November as Geography Awareness Week. Geography Awareness Week is sponsored by the National Geographic Society and other geographic organizations at the national, state, and local level.
GIS Day (www.gisday.com) is a global event where thousands of users of geographic information system (GIS) technology open their doors to schools, businesses, and the general public to showcase real-world applications of this exciting technology.
August 2015 - December 2016 is International Map Year (IMY). Supported by the United Nations, IMY provides opportunities to get involved in the art, science and technology of making and using maps and geographic information. Kick off the year by celebrating International Map Day on November 16, 2015.
Workshop registration is recommended due to the limited space available.
