GISMO was founded in 1990 and was, in its' heyday, the New York Metropolitan
Area's largest geographic information systems (GIS) users' group, with over 700
members from city, state and federal agencies, non-profit organizations and the
private sector.

GISMO continues to be a valued forum for sharing information on
well-established and emerging geospatial technologies along with news from GIS
publications, meetings, vendors as well as business, internship and software
training opportunities.

GISMO members range from students to savvy practitioners in & out of
government: all cite significant benefits over the years from the networking
promoted both virtually and in-person.

GISMO meetings will once again be scheduled bi-monthly beginning in July 2010.
We will generally gather at the Fund for the City of New York, with other venues
adopted depending on group size & nature of presentation(s) – "unconferences"
anyone?

GISMO programs typically run two-hours. Future schedules may vary between late
afternoon or early evening to accommodate various sectors of the local
geospatial community.
