NPO/NGO Online Mapping Workshop January 12, 2010

NPOs and NGOs are using modern mapping technologies for a variety of purposes and projects from tracking endangered species to visualizing inter-agency response to an earthquake in Indonesia.

Join PDXTech4Good at a special workshop with mapping expert Jim Craner and Humaninet.

At this workshop, we'll take a deeper dive into mapping strategy and how you can integrate mapping and help use GIS technology to further your mission and cause. This will be divided into 2 groups: Beginner and Intermediate. More details to come but please RSVP if you're interested in getting those details.

And after the workshop, kick off 2010 with PDXTech4Good, a cold beer, and more maps!

PDXTech4Good will feature a "showcase" of nonprofit and community projects that use online mapping and GIS (geographic information systems). We'll hear how organizations are using maps and GIS to gather information from their community, improve service and program delivery and effectiveness, and tell stories about themselves and their community members.

PDXTech4Good Meeting: 5:30 - 7:30p
Location: Lucky Labrador Brew Pub
