GISMO is hosting a lightning talk hybrid event to explore how NYC Open Data is being used by the NYC GIS and geospatial community, specifically GISMO members. GISMO ( NYC Geospatial Information Systems and Mapping Organization) is a professional development and networking organization, founded in 1990. We have a diverse group of speakers, both students and professionals, across NYC government agencies, universities, and public and private organizations, including NYPD, Arup, DNM Geospatial, and New York University.

The topics range from NYPD Open Data Coordinator updates, diving into DEP’s Citywide Parcel-Based Impervious Area GIS study, mapping NY Harbor water quality, citizen science data analysis in Jamaica Bay, to understanding women’s safety in walkability around NYC. Speakers will include tips and tricks to work with the data sets and for conducting research.

The lightning talks and Q&A will occur between 4:30-5:30pm. Stick around for some fun social networking with The Mappy Hour following the talks!  Light snacks and refreshments for in-person attendees.
