2025 EPC: Esri Technical Certification Panel
The 2025 Esri Partner Conference (EPC) was a great opportunity to meet our Partners and share valuable information about the Esri Technical Certification Program ! EPC offers a range of exciting opportunities to network, be inspired, meet with Esri resources, and learn how to further your partner strategy.
Training Services hosted a panel titled "Esri Technical Certification and Benefits to Partners" hosted by senior training consultant Marc Weniger and principal global training specialist Tina Brewington. This panel discussion featured partner organizations that have benefitted from including Esri technical certification as a key component of their partner strategy and the success they've found in doing so.
What was the panel about?
The panel kicked off with the Esri team sharing an overview of the Training Services benefits offered to Esri Partner network organizations. You can view and download the slideshow for this panel at the bottom of this article (PDF attachment).
The second half of the panel was a Q&A session with guest presenters from 4 global EPN organizations. The partners that participated in this session had many of their employees achieve one or more Esri Technical Certifications over the past 2 years. Panelists shared their organization’s certification journey and success stories to help other Partners understand how they can incorporate Esri certification into their organization’s partner strategy. The panelists addressed commonly asked EPN questions such as:
- What was the business strategy or goal behind prioritizing Esri technical certification and how did they implement this initiative?
- What were some effective ways they helped their team members select, prepare for, and achieve an Esri technical certification?
- What benefits and successes have they seen as an Esri Partner because of their Esri certification initiative?
A question-and-answer session for attendees followed the panel discussion.
