Attending a conference to apply your skills and learn more about your personal GIS goals can feel like a lot to commit to with a busy schedule. Students can highly benefit from attending GIS conferences and events, even if it's your first time attending. Remember, not all conferences are free, so be certain to review any registration information and policies before you plan to attend a conference or event. Often times, conferences focusing on student work and projects are perfect environments for first time presenters to share their work and get feedback or practice their public speaking. Consider what the best event or conference is for you, the cost of the conference, and be sure to see where the conference is taking place. Some conferences and events are fully online.
This event celebrates all things mapping and geospatial of the University of California faculty, staff, students, and alumni. While we come together virtually to share our work with our community through lighting talks, presentations, workshops, and a virtual gallery with maps and posters, some campuses may host on-site events anytime this week. All talks are free and open to the public!
