About us
Community of GIS (Geographic Information System) professionals and interested persons. We meet, eat, and sheet out some good ideas as we share our common interests and break bread. Blending governmental GIS, programmatic design, natural sciences, and other forms of analysis into a lunch period you can advocate for with your employer. This meetup culminates each year with a project for Geography week and GIS day in November.
