GIS Across the Disciplines In-Person

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) have become indispensable tools across numerous fields, transforming how we analyze spatial data and make informed decisions. This workshop explores the diverse applications of GIS technology across disciplines including public health, urban planning, environmental science, and history.

Participants will discover how GIS enables professionals to visualize patterns, identify relationships, and solve complex spatial problems—from tracking disease outbreaks to preserving cultural heritage sites. Through real-world case studies and demonstrations, attendees will gain insight into how spatial thinking and GIS technology can enhance research, planning, and decision-making in their own fields.

Whether you're new to GIS or looking to expand its application in your work, this workshop offers practical insights into the power of thinking spatially.
