GIS Kicks Off the 2017 Annual Conference in Dallas
The Road Show Happy Hour Drew a Crowd!
The Grand Chapter of Gamma Iota Sigma and the Dallas Chapter of the GIS Alumni Council hosted a Road Show Happy Hour on
Wednesday, May 31, 2017 at Meso Maya in Dallas, Texas. The evening provided the attendees with an opportunity to meet current GIS student members, alumni, and organization representatives, and connect with current and former colleagues and classmates. This was a perfect kickoff event for the GIS Annual International Conference, which is just under four months away!
Thank you to the many industry attendees and supporters, as well as the alumni, students and faculty from so many schools. This opportunity to make new connections and create additional excitement around and interest in the conference and GIS students and supporters was a great success! It's not too late to help spread the word about sponsorship opportunities for the Annual Conference!
