Synergis is a community of GIS professionals, managers, researchers, and students from Ithaca, NY and the surrounding area. We hold occasional meetings that are open to anyone interested in learning more about GIS and all things geospatial.

The group originally formed in the early 2000s, and has hosted various meetings and events for over a decade. In 2014, we established ourselves as an official chapter of the New York State GIS Association, and are currently working to revitalize Synergis with more frequent presentions and discussions led by community members and invited guests, as well as occasional "mappy hours" for more casual gatherings.

As of September 2021, we have moved our discussions and event announcements to the Synergis google group.

Current members of the Synergis Steering Committee:

• Ben Coakley (chair)
• Svetla Borovska
• David Jorgensen
• Frank Popowitch
