Since its inaugural conference in 2007, Purdue GIS Day has provided an international forum for users of geographic information systems (GIS) technology to demonstrate real-world applications that are making a difference in our society. We invite students to submit poster and lightning talk proposals each year to recognize their research efforts and contributions to the field. The day also consists of keynote speakers and networking opportunities for professionals, vendors, and students to connect and share their insights on the field of GIS.
