2010 San Luis Obispo GIS Day

Nov 30, 2010

GIS Day was held at the downtown San Luis Obispo library on November 17, 2010.

There were a couple hundred attendees, 13 exhibitors, numerous maps, and a proclamation from outgoing Mayor Dave Romero.

In addition to GIS practitioners, the event attracted a number of their coworkers, especially those from the County of San Luis Obispo, and the City of San Luis Obispo.

Cal Poly students helped set up the event and took advantage of the exposure to the concentration of working professionals.

The downtown location also drew a number of passers by who enjoyed refreshments (courtesy of Central California URISA), and appreciated seeing some of the products resulting from the use of GIS technology in their community.Photos of the event can be found at  

Central Cal URISA

Central California Chapter of URISA is considered to be the premier organization for the use and integration of spatial information technology to improve the quality of life in urban and regional environments.

New publications, workshops, conferences, and a continuously-updated, information-packed website are just a few of the reasons why IT and GIS professionals turn to URISA first.
