The goal of this all-day event is to bring together the Cornell geospatial community to explore technological innovations, GIS applications, and strategies to enhance geospatial research, education, and support across the Cornell campus.

Spatial analyses and place-based studies are more important than ever in the world today, and the digital technologies that support such work are becoming much more common-place and in high demand. At Cornell we are at a turning point: facing increasing demands and opportunities for support of geospatial research, teaching, and extension, while at the same time lacking a clear vision for how such demands will be met, especially as several key players from within our geospatial community transition out through retirement.

Help pave the way forward by joining us at our inaugural Cornell Geospatial Forum.  At this 1-day event, we will highlight some of the many innovative and cross-disciplinary applications of GIS at Cornell, share ideas and research, learn about existing and emerging campus-wide resources, and lay the groundwork for the future of GIS at Cornell.  We hope you will join us for this important conversation and the first of what we hope will become an annual event.
