The GIS of today is one that incorporates the principles of diversity, equity, and inclusivity into its foundation. By bringing these principles into our GIS community, we can make the world a better place, creating a space for true collaboration, creativity, innovation, and idea exchange to thrive.<\/p>\n

At the 2019 Esri User Conference in San Diego (July 8th<\/sup> \u2013 12th<\/sup>), we invite you to participate in the activities focused on these principles. Connect with the geospatial community to learn about how GIS is used to promote diversity, equity, & inclusion, network with peers, and get inspired by one of the many amazing speakers lined up. To make it easy for you to pick out the right sessions, Esri’s Women’s Empowerment & Career Advancement Network (WeCan) pulled together a list of all the events related to diversity, equity, and inclusion happening at the User Conference this year.<\/p>\n

Expo Hall<\/strong><\/h2>\n

At the 2019 Esri UC, visit the UC Expo to meet with several amazing exhibitors who promote the principles of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion:<\/p>\n

Women in GIS<\/a> \u2013 visit Booth #2412 to learn more about \u2018WiGIS\u2019, an international, professional, and social advocacy group for women and their allies.<\/p>\n

National Tribal GIS<\/a> \u2013 stop by the the Sustainable World area of the expo to connect with Tribal GIS, a group working to establish “The Best Practices and Standards for Geographic Information Systems within Indian Country”.<\/p>\n

Women and GIS @ the Map Gallery Reception<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Women and GIS: Mapping Their Stories<\/em><\/a> tells the tales of how 23 women applied themselves and overcame obstacles, using maps, analysis, and geographic information systems (GIS)<\/a> to contribute to their professions and the world. Sharing the experiences of their childhoods, the misstarts and challenges they faced, and the lessons they learned, each story is a celebration of a woman\u2019s unique path and of the perseverance and hard work it takes to achieve success. This year at the User Conference Map Gallery Reception, Esri will have a special exhibit showcasing Women and GIS<\/em>, with the opportunity to meet some of the women featured in the book. Stop by to get your copy of the book signed, discuss the book\u2019s themes, and more.<\/p>\n

This event will take place on Monday, July 8th<\/sup>, from 4:00 PM to 6:30 PM in the Sail Area of the San Diego Convention Center.<\/p>\n

Focused Career Development Sessions<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Throughout the conference, attend sessions focused on career development. Esri\u2019s Young Professionals Network<\/a> will be hosting three of these sessions during the week \u2013 one<\/a> focused on \u201cmapping\u201d your career and focusing on your passion, where Sophia Garcia from the Dolores Huerta Foundation will discuss mapping social justice.\u00a0 Another session hosted by YPN<\/a> will discuss how to advocate and promote yourself (even when it might seem tricky). And before you head over to the Thursday night party, stop by YPNX5<\/a>! This session celebrates YPN’s fifth anniversary, and will highlight the work of Young Professionals in GIS.<\/p>\n

In addition to the YPN focused career development sessions, Esri’s Women’s Empowerment & Career Advancement Network (WeCan) is excited to present the AMA (Ask Me Anything): Women and GIS Panel<\/a> at the conference. This session will feature a panel of influential women from different industries and professions within the GIS community, some of which are featured in Esri’s Women and GIS book. These leaders will discuss how they make a difference in their organizations by meeting challenges, empowering others, and leading with passion.\u00a0 Panel attendees will also learn about Black Girls MAPP<\/a>, a new initiative that connects and empowers women of color in the field of GIS, and enables the black community to solve problems through GIS related projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Special Interest Group Meetings<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Special Interest Groups \u2013 or SIGs\u2014are communities within a larger organization with a shared interest in advancing a specific area of knowledge, learning, or technology. Every year, the Esri UC supports dozens of SIG meetups, both technical and non-technical. SIGs are a great way to network with your peers and learn something new. We encourage you to check out and participate in one of several SIG meetups focused on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, highlighted below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Demo Theater & User Presentations<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Networking and social events are fantastic ways to get inspired \u2013 but it is also important to learn how GIS can be used to support diversity, equity, and inclusion. During the conference, attend a Demo Theater presentation or User Presentation to learn specifically how GIS can be applied to these principles.<\/p>\n

Demo Theater sessions are 45-minute technical sessions led by Esri staff, where focused \u201chow to\u2019s\u201d are shared on the execution of specific GIS tasks. These sessions are focused on the technical components of GIS, rather than concepts. On Tuesday and Wednesday, you can join Theater presentations on Social Equity<\/a>, learn about Valuation Workflows within ArcGIS<\/a>, focus on leveraging policy maps<\/a>, and how to move forward with a Smart Communities Strategy<\/a>. And don’t forget to come back on Thursday to learn the basics of web accessibility and implementation<\/a> using the ArcGIS API for JavaScript.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

On the flip-side \u2013 you can also attend user presentations! These 60-minute sessions are delivered by real users like you, facing common issues & challenges in the field. User presentations share innovative GIS projects in the form of case studies. We\u2019ve pulled out specific presentations that focus on issues surrounding Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

It is more important than ever to embrace the core principles of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in the GIS industry. Incorporating these events and sessions into your User Conference schedule will bring new perspectives into your work — allowing you to see things in ways you might not have before. With GIS becoming more powerful and accessible, it is important to know how you can leverage its capabilities in unique ways to create a more equitable world.<\/span>\u00a0We hope to see you at one or many of these events – don’t be a stranger.<\/p>\n
