# GIS for Business and Planning
# Geographic Information System (GIS) is a computer-based mapping tool that takes information from a database about a location, such as streets, buildings, traffic patterns, and turns it into visual layers. The GIS for Business and Planning presentation will provide an opportunity for those curious about GIS to see examples of how this technology is used in business and nonprofit organizations to solve real problems. Learn about how GIS works, how it is applied to business operations, examples of completed projects, and simple GIS applications available for use on the web. The one hour talk will be presented by Christy Powell, Senior GIS Specialist, at the Northern Kentucky Area Planning Commission. |
