Greetings GIS Professionals (young, established, veteran, and upcoming)!

A little overdue but I wanted to reach out and talk about the upcoming year for the CT GIS Network and share network resources.

The Network Schedule

• Networking Opportunities. We are preparing four professional meetings (virtual, in person, hybrid) with one of them being the ever so amazing CT GIS Network GIS Day. The next meeting is just around the corner by the way. 😉
1. May 2022 Meeting. In Person, May 20^th and in New Haven. Details are being finalized now. Stay tuned!
2. September 2022. This will likely be a utility and regional themed meeting.
3. November 2022. Our annual CT GIS Network GIS Day!
4. February Meeting 2023. A winter shindig. Will shoot for in person and will most definitely have a virtual option.
