GIS Days offer you the chance to learn more about geography, mapping and real-world applications of GIS that impact our communities. Drop in and out depending on what presentations pique your interest and listen to presenters from around the world.

Vote for your favourite maps in our map gallery, and your favourite lightning talk presentations. Network within our GIS Days Slack channel, or drop-in to one of our tutorial sessions. Presentation topics range from mapping natural disasters to Canadian suburbs, from putting cows on the map to narrative travel in the Canterbury tales.

Presentations will be offered by a variety of speakers ranging from geospatial professionals to GIS newbies. Short lightning talks (7-min) offer you a quick taste of a topic, while longer demonstrations (20-min) provide a deeper dive into a GIS project.
