Good Afternoon GIS folks!
Like we had mentioned in last week’s User Council meeting – Its that time of year again!
Most of you by now you have probably started the process of registering and getting internal approvals for the Esri User Conference if you plan to attend. Here are a few updates:
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.
- Sessions can be filtered for digital access in the agenda by using “Live Stream” or “Recorded” options below.
Map Gallery
- All map gallery submissions will be included in ESRI’s permanent online gallery, and the eGIS team has also reserved 8 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.
- As mentioned in the User Counsel meeting, WE NEED MAPS! Both online and print map submissions.
- GIS Managers, please work with your teams to claim a map gallery panel (located here) by Friday, April 28th.
- Please email maps in PDF format and indicate in your email if you are interested in displaying a physical poster or a digital submission by Friday, May 19th.

Plenary images
