Live from 2017 GeoConX: Startups Help Utilities and Telecoms Prepare for the Future

Over the past 25 years, the annual Esri GeoConX Conference has become the largest annual geospatial event in the electric, gas and telecommunications industries. At the event, professionals and Esri users from both industries converge to network, collaborate, and learn as a larger, unified community. This year the conference occurs in Chicago, from September 5-8th.

This year’s conference focuses on how attendees can employ the latest GIS technology to break barriers—from business and technical barriers, to communications and information barriers. While attendees explore products and services with familiar faces on the expo floor, they’ll also discover a lineup of emerging businesses.

The Esri Startup Zone at GeoConX features five Esri Emerging Partners that introduce innovative GIS solutions for electric and gas utility challenges. Be sure to make time to visit these companies!
