What is GIS Day?

GIS Day is an annual event celebrating the technology of geographic information systems (GIS) that was initiated by ESRI. The first GIS day took place in 1999, this year makes twenty years of celebrating GIS day. The event is considered a good initiative for people to learn about geography and the many uses of GIS. Jack Dangermond, the co-foudner of ESRI, wanted GIS Day to be a grassroots effort and open to everyone to participate.
