ESRI User Conference

“A thank-you to the conference's user presenters, who give up work time and family time to share what they've built, with a call for more of the community to submit talks for 2027.”

“An attendee's reflection on "an incredible week" of learning and reconnecting, recommending the Plenary session recordings for a breakdown of the platform's newest features.”

“A web app where the legend and interface live together as one element was selected for the plenary session, the second year running the poster's work has appeared in Jack Dangermond's keynote.”

“A first-hand account of the Education Summit and User Conference, from a student presenting a Loggerhead Turtle bycatch study to a City of Mount Vernon team using GIS to track safe drinking water access.”

“AI may be the headline, but geography remains the foundation: Esri's mining industry lead on why data readiness, not the AI itself, was the recurring bottleneck organisations described.”

“More than 18,000 attendees from over 100 countries made this the world's largest GIS conference; Blue Raster's team came away most struck by Jack Dangermond's framing that AI is a powerful tool but GIS professionals remain essential.”

“Site selection was the single most common conversation at their kiosk, and the standout announcement was Esri's new support for GeoParquet in web maps, which removes a ceiling on how many points can go on one map.”

“A recap from Gold Sponsor Eos Positioning Systems of their week on the Expo floor, at Booth #1025, capturing the sessions, demos and connections that made the conference memorable.”
