Who? The International Geospatial  Community with special interest of GIS

#GIStribe chats happen every week at the same time on Twitter and is open to anyone who wishes to follow, interact, and / or  contribute. It is meant to be a simple informal way for people who are interested in GIS to connect with the larger geospatial GIS community; meeting others with similar interests, learning from one other, discussing interesting geo-related topics, troubleshoot geospatial problems, inspire others and much more.

Emily Garding, a GIS Analyst at City of Boulder Open Space and Mountain Parks started #GIStribe in 2014 and continues to host the live weekly chat on Twitter and sometimes branches out to other online events such as Google Hangouts.
