A-B Tech and UNC Asheville will host GIS Day 2008 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Nov. 14 on the first floor of the Balsam Building on A-B Tech's Asheville campus.
The open house celebrates Geographic Information Systems activities in the Asheville area. Local GIS users and vendors will demonstrate how GIS is used in the community every day through navigation systems in cars and in GPS tracking devices in cell phones. Events include lectures, software demonstrations, map galleries, and activities.
The event will include demonstrations of the County and City GIS web sites as well as sessions from local, state and federal agencies and private companies.
