User Feedback and Research

How to get involved

Provide valuable insights into your use of Esri technology through our user feedback and research activities at the 2026 Esri User Conference (Esri UC) and beyond.

Visit ArcGIS product areas in the Expo

Ask questions and share feedback directly with the engineers and designers that work on the software and apps you use.

Go to the ArcGIS Pro, ArcGIS Online, and ArcGIS apps areas to participate in surveys and moderated research activities that will inform upcoming product improvements.
