For the past 25 years, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) have transformed

how we perceive, navigate, and shape our planet. GIS Week is a global

celebration that recognizes the power of GIS technology to drive innovation and

solve real-world challenges. Each year, the University of Nairobi, through the

Department of Geospatial Engineering and Space Technology and the

Geospatial Engineering Students Association (GESA), has successfully organized

this event with the support of our partners. In 2024, we celebrate 25 Years of GIS

Excellence, reflecting on the immense impact GIS has had on society.

 

 

THEME: Mapping Minds, Shaping the World

This year’s theme emphasizes the transformative power of GIS technology, the

role it plays in addressing global challenges, and its ability to bring together

individuals, organizations, and communities. By leveraging spatial data, we can

foster positive change, explore sustainable solutions, and create a better future

for our world. It celebrates the synergy between human creativity and

technological advancement.
