University Student Program

If you’re a college student, plan to attend the University Student Program, which is a pre-conference event on Monday, February 6th at 10am inside the Walter E. Washington Convention Center. Besides getting a discounted rate as a university student, the University Student Program is an all-day event starting with a welcome and keynote presentation, YPN Luncheon, several talks & sessions, and ending with the GeoConnect Career Fair.

Speaking of the YPN Luncheon, you won’t want to miss it! The luncheon will be in the conference center and will begin at 11:30am sharp. This will be a fantastic opportunity for you and your likeminded peers to connect with each other. 

Esri YPN's Professional Development Sessions

Esri YPN will have two great sessions at the conference, so be sure to mark these in your calendar!

Advocating for the Use of Modern GIS in the Workplace:

Tuesday, February 7 @ 4:15pm, Room 140B

This session will be panel-style. The idea is to spark discussion between the panelists and the audience about advocating for the use of “modern GIS” in your organization. The panelists will help you start the conversation about staying up to date on the latest GIS technology, workflows, and continue to advance your work and your organization as a whole.

How to Advocate for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in your Organization:

Wednesday, February 8 @ 8:30am, Room 103B

This session will also be panel-style. The panelists in this session will discuss ways you can work with your organization so you feel heard, represented, and included, which are all crucial components for a long lasting and fulfilling career. You’ll learn bottom-up techniques to influence and shift the culture within your organization.

Esri YPN Booth

As always, we will have a booth in the expo hall for you to chat with us and other young professionals at the conference. This year, the booth will be located with the Careers in GIS & Education zones. An Esri YPN staff member will be there to answer any questions you may have.

Esri YPN Social

Last, but certainly not least, is the YPN Social! This year, the social will be located on the second floor of Throw Social at 6:30pm. Make sure you bring your badge to get into the social, receive your drink tickets, and hear from a very special guest... The address to Throw Social is 1401 Okie Street NE, Washington, D.C. 20002.
