TNGIC has divided the state into three major divisions: West, Middle, and East. At each annual TNGIC Conference a different breakout session is conducted for each of these three division as a way to encourage more "localized" sharing of information between users. The breakout sessions also help facilitate the planning and organizing of the annual Fall Regional Conferences.

This page was created in an effort to provide information on the annual fall conference and as a way to get users communicating more in between conferences. Everyone from TNGIC Members to people who are are just interested in maps are encouraged to to get involved with GIS in the East Tennessee Area.
