This was the second year that the MNR has hosted GIS Day. Last year's event was such a success that school groups had to be turned away because of lack of space. As a result, this year's event was extended to two days. The National Geographic Society, the American Association of Geographers, the U.S. Geological Survey, the Library of Congress, the University Consortium for Geographic Information Science, and ESRI commend the thousands of people who worked very hard to make the second annual GIS Day a success. As the examples listed above are just a few of the many great events held to celebrate GIS Day 2000, more information is available from the GIS Day Web site.
