The 8th Annual University of Washington GIS Symposium<https://www.lib.washington.edu/commons/events/gis-2024> will be held on Thursday, May 30th. The Symposium is presented with co-sponsorship from the UW Center for Studies in Demography and Ecology<https://csde.washington.edu/>.

The GIS Symposium highlights the role of Geographic Information Systems (GIS), remote sensing, and data visualization technologies at the UW. The event will feature in-person, short talks from the UW GIS community followed by a keynote presentation on our new Planet.com<https://guides.lib.uw.edu/research/gis/planet?_gl=1*nytc7t*_ga*MTMxNjIzNzMyNS4xNzAyNTkzMzMx*_ga_63X2ZQHK8P*MTcxMzk3ODQ4NS4xNDAuMS4xNzEzOTc5Njk1LjAuMC4w> resource via Zoom.
Give a Presentation!
This event invites students of all levels and experiences to share their unique mapping projects to help inspire and educate our UW community about the many different ways this technology can be used to highlight research work and impact. SUBMIT A PROPOSAL TO PRESENT A TALK HERE.<https://washington.libwizard.com/id/e915d806c537a89c07fbb19dbfb0a10f?_gl=1*1av7dr*_ga*MTkwNzQwODczLjE2MTExNzQzMDU.*_ga_63X2ZQHK8P*MTcxNDk1Mjc5Ni4xNC4wLjE3MTQ5NTI4MDQuMC4wLjA.>
