The Esri GIS Managers Summit returns as the Esri GIS Leadership Summit on July 12, 2026, building on the strong foundation of recent years with an even greater focus on interaction, leadership, and meaningful conversation.

Held on-site the day before the Esri User Conference, the Summit brings together GIS leaders, IT professionals, and business and executive stakeholders who are guiding GIS as a critical organizational capability.

A Leadership Summit—Designed for Engagement

The 2026 Summit prioritizes dialogue, collaboration, and shared learning through on-stage conversations, leadership panels, facilitated discussions, and peer exchange. The goal is to provide practical insight you can apply immediately while connecting with others leading GIS programs today.

This year’s Summit features an expanded lineup of leadership professionals on stage, including executive-level speakers and senior Esri leadership. These perspectives highlight how GIS leadership today is about influence, communication, and outcomes—across all parts of an organization.
