GIS Week is Nov. 15-19

NC State’s annual GIS Week lets you geek out about geospatial analytics and spatial data science. In other words, it’s a stimulating schedule of events, workshops, and networking opportunities designed to connect researchers, practitioners, and industry partners across sectors and disciplines, and features a data visualization contest and exhibit, a drone data workshop, a spatial data science career fair, and much more.

GIS Week is sponsored by the Geospatial Graduate Student Organization, in partnership with NC State's Center for Geospatial Analytics and the NC State University Libraries.

Visit the GIS Week website for a full schedule of events and to register to reserve your spot and stay apprised of any changes.

The Libraries is hosting a number of events throughout the week, including the W. E. B. Du Bois Visualization Exhibit which runs all week at the Hunt Library and online, and features a special Coffee & Viz event online on Friday morning with the exhibit participants. The Du Bois exhibit is designed as a showcase of visualizations (both physical and digital) that are either modern extensions of Du Bois’ work or products of original scholarship around racial equity and justice.

The Libraries also hosts the GIS Week Kickoff on Monday, Nov. 15 from 12:00 p.m.-2:00 p.m. on the Oval next to the Hunt Library on Centennial Campus, with food, fun, and a rundown of everything geospatial at NC State.
