Total Business Solutions Ltd. (TBSL) joins the rest of the world in celebrating World GIS Day on Wednesday, November 17th, 2021. In commemoration of this day, we will be hosting a virtual forum from 9:00am – 12:00pm.
This year’s GIS Day theme is Developing Spatial Literacy, Inspiring A Generation, Building Our Future. We are partnering with our GIS leaders in Belize who will be sharing about their use of GIS to support their organizations’ objectives through innovative solutions. It is an opportunity to celebrate the impactful work of our GIS Professionals and to ignite our own imaginations and those of future innovators who may further advance national progress using GIS.
Over 20 years ago, Jack Dangermond, the founder and president of Esri, envisioned people collaborating and sharing how GIS affects everyone. This led to the establishment of GIS Day, which was first observed in 1999. The explosion of geospatial technology since then has expanded that idea into a global event that shows how geography, and the real-world applications of GIS are making a difference in business, government, and society.
We hope you join us and other GIS Users around the globe (see map below) as we celebrate GIS Day and are inspired to discover and use GIS.
GIS Day is an opportunity for GIS professionals and organizations to highlight their work and share the amazing things they are doing via fun, educational grassroots events.
GIS touches everyone's life daily, yet many people are still unaware of its power and pervasiveness. Invite others to see how you're using GIS to understand the world and make better decisions.
Every map has a story to tell and the potential to make a difference. Show off your impactful maps and demonstrate to your audience how they can use GIS to tell their own stories.
GIS Day is a day dedicated to showing, teaching, and inspiring others. Spread enthusiasm and help people learn how to use GIS for themselves—in their work, in their schools, where they volunteer, or even for their hobbies and interests.
