Conference After-Party, Our First Hike This Year, and Our Instagram Account

As the outdoors season progressed, we became increasingly restless and started envisioning long-awaited in-person meetings and hikes. The organizers met last week in Manhattan's Hell's Kitchen district for a happy-hour catching-up and planning get-together, which proved to be especially productive since we now have two set upcoming events and a couple of other ones in work:

  • A hike! We are excited to explore Harriman State Park, and our colleagues in the Hudson Valley Chapter might join us.
  • A conference after-party at Flute Midtown. Discuss the online annual conference proceedings happening this year between July 6 and 8. What are the benefits of joining SCGIS? What inspired you? What would you like to see and learn about, and what technical workshops you would find most useful? Join this networking event to find out.
We are also announcing the launch of our Instagram account where we will host photos and videos taken during our events.

There are at least two other hikes planned this year, but you will have to join our Meetup to find out more details...

  The Hudson Valley and NY/NJ chapters are happy to announce their first joint meeting, taking place Wednesday, January 26, at 3 PM EST, on Zoom. The meeting is hosted by the Hudson Valley Chapter, whose organizers approached us a few weeks ago with this initiative, much to our joy. Both our chapters’ organizing committees members have been discussing lately a few online as well as in-person activity ideas in which our members would be interested this year, and the agenda looks exciting. Email us for details if interested in attending.

GIS Day 2021 - Celebration at Bedford Falls

Image
We are planning an in-person networking event at our former meeting place, Bedford Falls. This event is registered on gisday.com, so we will be giving away five free ESRI licenses for personal use. The rules for the raffle are mentioned in the Meetup event. We greatly enjoyed our October hike in Brooklyn Botanic Garden  and we planned more ambitious hikes for next year. We are also considering transferring our event announcements to Eventbrite . This event is a chance for new potential members of our chapters to get to know us better and forge new collaborations in the field of conservation GIS. Please note that you will need to RSVP on Meetup one week ahead for reserved seating, there is a ten person maximum, and proof of vaccination is required.
