Hello all! Hopefully by now you have started the process of registering and getting internal approvals for the Esri User Conference if you plan to attend. Here are a few updates:
Registration
- Registration is open in My Esri – please work with your department eGIS lead to use your allocated complementary registrations.
- When you register, you will see an option for in-person or virtual attendance. Those who select “in-person” will also have access to digital content. Either option counts as one registration against your department’s total allocations.
- Please see this site for more information about virtual attendance.
- This is not a new update, but a reminder that the in-person event requires proof of vaccination to attend.
Agenda
- The Detailed Agenda is now available – this may help with your training/travel justifications, as you can share which specific sessions you plan to attend.
- Any session listed as “HYBRID SESSION” in the item description will be available for digital access. You can search for these by searching for the text “hybrid” in the search tool.
The Map Gallery is back!
- All map gallery submissions will be included in Esri’s permanent online gallery, and the eGIS team has also reserved 10 physical panels in the in-person map gallery.
- If you are interested in submitting a map, please review Esri’s call for maps, which includes submission requirements, categories, award opportunities, and setup instructions.
- There will be an internal selection process for online and print map submissions, as there has been in the past.
- GIS Managers, please work with your teams to submit your maps (3 max per department) to Shannon for internal review by COB Friday, May 13. Please email maps in PDF format and indicate in your email if you are interested in displaying a physical poster in addition to a digital submission.
- Edit 4/19/22: Please put PDF submissions at this Teams location and message Shannon regarding if it should be considered for digital only or print and digital. Thank you!
- A selection committee will review the submissions and announce the selected maps the week of May 16. We will let you know at that point if your map has been selected for print display in addition to digital submission.
- Selected map owners will have the weeks of May 23 and 30 to make final changes to their submission.
- Selected map owners must submit their maps online by Thursday, June 2.
- For maps that are selected for print display, departments are responsible for printing, transport to the conference, and setup of posters on the boards by Monday, July 11 at noon. Time to fire up those plotters…
