TBSL Celebrates its 8th GIS Day
Total Business Solutions Ltd. (TBSL) celebrated GIS Day on Wednesday, November 18, 2020 under the theme, GIS- A Platform for National Development. Due to global circumstances, we held our first virtual forum which replaced our traditional expo. Our Keynote Speaker, Cecille Blake, GGIM Secretariat (Global Geospatial Information Management) Department of Economic and Social Affairs, United Nations opened the forum sharing a global perspective of GIS and the importance of Belize using this technology. This was followed by our 6 presenters who shared how their organizations are using GIS to contribute to the national development of Belize.
Over 20 years ago, Jack Dangermond, the founder and president of Esri, envisioned people collaborating and sharing how GIS affects everyone. This led to the establishment of GIS Day, which was first observed in 1999. The explosion of geospatial technology since then has expanded that idea into a global event that shows how geography and the real-world applications of GIS are making a difference in business, government and society. It’s a chance for organizations to share their accomplishments and inspire others to discover and use GIS.
“GIS Day is a wonderful opportunity for professionals from around the world to get together to share the amazing things they are doing,” said Dangermond. ” More than ever before, the work of GIS has helped the world better understand and mitigate the impacts of COVID-19. Organizations across the globe are taking part in grassroots events that help celebrate geospatial science and how it impacts the real world for good. Our users should be proud of the work they do, which GIS Day is meant to showcase.”
