Dear Colleague,

As an attendee of either the 2018 Esri Education Summit or the 2018 Esri User Conference, you are warmly invited to a special event, the Esri Science Symposium.

 

When & Where:

Tuesday, July 10, 2018

4:00-6:30 pm

San Diego Convention Center (SDCC) Ballroom 20 D

The 2018 symposium will include the following:

  • A keynote address by Dr. Camilo Mora, University of Hawaii, about some of the most important climate change issues of the day, including deadly heat waves

 

 

  • Audience Q&A and interactive discussion

 

  • Networking reception with delicious appetizers and a hosted bar providing beer, wine, soft drinks, and bottled water

 

This event seeks to broaden the tent of Esri UC participation—beyond the traditional geographers and GIScientists—to include those working in the domain sciences (e.g., ocean science, hydrology, ecology, forestry, climate science, geology/geophysics, agricultural science, conservation biology, sustainability science and/or geodesign, health sciences, and the social sciences). A further aim is to strengthen the links between Esri and the scientific community, while (re)crystallizing a community of scientists at the Esri UC who normally attend disparate sessions throughout the week.

Please feel free to share this invitation (including the RSVP link) with others who might be interested.

We look forward to seeing you in San Diego this July!

Best wishes,
 
Dawn Wright, Esri Chief Scientist
Jack Dangermond, Esri President and CEO
