Description

Start 2010 off with PDXTech4Good, a good map, and a cold beer!

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. 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

......................................................................................................................... And prior to the meeting, we'll have a special workshop with mapping expert Jim Craner and Humaninet.

Time: 3:00 - 5:00p Place: TACS Office, 1001 SE Water Ave, Suite 490, Portland OR 97214

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. .........................................................................................................................
