It has been 40 years since our first User Conference was held in Redlands, California, with only a handful of participants. While initially no one was quite sure of what the outcome would be, the event started an ongoing tradition where Esri and our users would come together, share our work, learn and create a community of common interests.
This year, Esri has made the decision to move the 2020 Esri User Conference in San Diego to a virtual format. The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has thrust our community into unknown territory impacting both our health and economy. But we are all in this together, and if we continue to work together, we will weather this storm.
Join us virtually July 13-15 for a packed program including a live Plenary, inspiring keynotes, interactive virtual sessions with Esri staff, a digital map gallery and a first look at the future of the ArcGIS platform. Registration to the 2020 virtual UC is complimentary for all Esri customers who are current on their maintenance or subscription.
This means the UC this year will be more accessible than ever:
- All current students and 2020 grads have full free access to UC, whether or not their school has a site license current on maintenance. This applies to both K-12 and higher education institutions.
- Any person who works at an organization that is current on ArcGIS maintenance or subscription will have access to the full UC (not just people who have licenses at that organization).
- The plenary session is completely open to the public.

Stay tuned for updates coming soon! In the meantime, we encourage everyone in this group to submit any maps related to Equity & Social Justice to the virtual Map Gallery.
