**What's PostGIS Day?**

PostGIS Day is part of Geography Awareness Week and serves to highlight the features and capabilities of PostGIS as a part of the GIS ecosystem.

Spatial data is everywhere these days and every organization is a spatial organization whether they realize it or not. Logistics, precision agriculture, insurance, risk analysis and many more industries can or are working with spatial data.

Too many are investing in expensive middle tier software when they could be leveraging a powerful spatial engine like PostGIS. PostGIS combines the power of PostgreSQL with spatial data, and simplifies the technology your developers and data scientists need to learn. This means they can focus on the business objectives you are trying to achieve and not on learning new software.

### What is PostGIS?

PostGIS is a spatial database extender for [PostgreSQL](https://postgresql.org/) object-relational database. It adds support for geographic objects allowing location queries to be run in SQL.

In addition to basic location awareness, PostGIS offers many features rarely found in other competing spatial databases such as Oracle Locator/Spatial and SQL Server. Refer to [PostGIS Feature List](https://postgis.net/features) for more details.

PostGIS is 100% community developed open source software, used by organizations around the world to bring geospatial intelligence into their applications and data processing systems.
