Since 1999, GIS day has been celebrated annually on the third Wednesday of November. This day was inspired by activist and lawyer Ralph Nader, who wanted to encourage people to learn more about geography, GIS and its uses. It was firstly initiated by ESRI during the Geography Awareness Week in 1999. Today, GIS Day continues to gather geography enthusiasts around the world and contributes to the international awareness of GIS technology. 

We’re celebrating World GIS Day on Planet Community tomorrow!
