Definition

  • In mid-1986, a now defunct organization called the National Computer Graphics Association (NCGA) identified geographic information systems (GIS) as a potential growth market. As arguably the nation's premiere association for the nexus of computing technology and computer-generated graphics, NCGA was well positioned to leverage its extensive conference and exhibition experience to capture the burgeoning GIS applications and solutions marketplace.
