Though the Esri International User Conference has been occurring annually for over forty years, there’s still consistent momentum that makes this year’s event more energetic and valuable than ever before. If you’re in the Public Works industry and joining us in San Diego, CA, I’d like to make sure you are aware of all the opportunities available specifically for you.
Plan Your Schedule
First off, you should spend some time before the event creating a schedule. There are hundreds of activities to choose from, so we have created a recommended list of activities for those in Public Works.
Public Works Special Interest Group (SIG) Meeting
Please be sure to attend the Next Generation Public Works Powered by ArcGIS SIG Meeting set for Tuesday, July 16, 11:30AM-12:30PM in San Diego Convention Center (SDCC) Room 24 ABC to learn about the latest trends, meet your peers, and participate in interactive discussions.
Public Works Showcase in the Expo
There are lots of reasons to dedicate at least half of a day during User Conference week in the Expo, and one includes a stop at the Public Works area. We will have Esri Subject Matter Experts in Public Works available to meet with you and demonstrate the latest technology and solutions across the Public Works disciplines. Hours are 9AM-6PM Tuesday and Wednesday, and 9AM-4PM on Thursday.
State & Local Government Showcase in the Expo
While you’re in the Expo, stop by a new Showcase Area. This improved State and Local Government area provides increased access to industry experts, a dedicated resource center, and opportunities to share your success stories.
State & Local Government Social
One of the great networking opportunities at the User Conference is the State and Local Government Social. Stop by for some food, drink, music, and meet others in the state and local government industry. Wednesday, July 16, 6-9PM at the Hilton Lawn/Bayfront Park at the South end of the SDCC.
