"Don't be left in the dark!"
For more than 35 years the Far North Queensland GIS Group Inc (affectionately known as FunGIS) has been uniting the far northern spatial community through local conferences and workshops, sharing of resources, and distribution of news about geospatial initiatives and opportunities here in the far north and beyond.
Each year around August, when our far northern weather is a very welcome escape from cold southern climes, FunGIS hosts the FunGIS Annual Conference, which has always attracted a high calibre of spatial innovators. You can see flyers from previous Conferences here.
Each year the FunGIS annual conference includes the FunGIS Annual General Meeting, ensuring that FunGIS's voluntary Exec committee, elected each AGM, remains highly motivated to keep up the great work!
FunGIS also runs more frequent, more informal events, MapChats, after work at local Cairns and Townsville venues conducive to presentation of both face to face and live streamed content. MapChats are a great opportunity for spatialistas to share GIS use cases in the far north and tap in to the FunGIS brains trust - a local, friendly audience of peers.
Bonus collaborative events, like Coffee CatchUps for those in Cairns, can also pop up throughout the year - check out our Events page for current offerings.
