Register for free now and join us!

More Americans die every year from drug overdoses than they do in car crashes - and most of those overdoses involved opioids. The escalating opioid epidemic is just one of many serious threats that are impacting communities all over the country.

Fortunately, geographic intelligence can help communities address all aspects of opioid epidemic like fraud, trafficking, gun violence and crop eradication. These issues can be tackled by using the insight provided by geospatial analysis and shared awareness.

Join us on Thursday, December 7 from 5:30-8:00pm at 1776 in Washington, D.C. to learn how integrating GIS data across government entities can give government a better understanding of where, when and why an epidemic or threat is occurring.

You will learn how:

  • GIS can help inform policy and decision making that supports prevention, intervention and enforcement. 
  • Mapping threats is making a difference in communities according to government and industry experts.
  • To overcome common barriers associated with health threat mapping.
