This year's event will focus on GIS use at the City and County of Denver and real-world applications by various city agencies and departments, including its use for safety, public health, climate action, and natural resource management. The event will showcase a wide range of GIS products, tools, and applications from the city's GIS community. The format will be a moderated lightning talk with Q&A for each speaker. 

GIS Day is an international event that recognizes geography's importance, advances in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technology, and recent spatial analysis successes. GIS is used to map and analyze data to understand our world and effectively make decisions.
