It's been an exciting year on GeoNet. You, our Esri user community, continued to inspire us with your contributions, insights and passion to fulfill the GeoNet Community mission: to help each other find solutions, share ideas and grow GIS careers. We're eager to head into another great year on GeoNet with you. But before we move along, I wanted to share a quick look back at 2019 highlights and a peek at some big news coming in 2020. Below is a quick summary and I invite you to check out the additional metrics and details which are included in the attached pdf below. 2019 Highlights Completed the selection of new GeoNet platform. Launched more than 30 new spaces and private groups. Expanded the GeoNet MVP Program including hosting onsite event meetings and quarterly virtual events. Introduced new GeoNet member “Community Closeup” feature series Completed staffing of GeoNet Community Team Since 2017, we have been building the GeoNet team, and in 2019, we welcomed Louise Branscomb‌ (GeoNet Project Manager) and Leslie Fountain (GeoNet Content Manager) to our GeoNet team, joining myself and Michelle Mathias(GeoNet Community Manager). 2020: The Road Ahead As we shared last month, we're moving GeoNet to a new platform in 2020 https://community.esri.com/community/geonet-lounge/blog/2020/02/10/announcement-a-new-and-improved-geonet-is-coming?sr=search&searchId=26eefb9f-beba-4e08-87f1-0982b337c22e&searchIndex=0 You can visit the GeoNet Lounge‌ to learn more, ask questions, and stay updated throughout the year. We're continually inspired by your feedback on how to make your GeoNet experience better, and as part of the new platform update, we'll be working on projects focused on moderation, content and member stories, new member onboarding and group owner training. Building on the success and growth we had in 2019, we'll be evolving the GeoNet MVP program. Thanks for your support and commitment to building the Esri Community. We look forward to the continued partnership and supporting you and your work in 2020. Chris GeoNet, Esri Community Program Manager and Strategist

Hi Robert, Thanks for joining and your question. If understand you question correctly, we can't swap out or link account email addresses, but you can go in and activate another GeoNet account through your current Esri account. To further help you out and find a solution, I'm looping in our GeoNet Community Manager, Michelle Mathias who can help you with this.

Hi Garrett - It was nice to meet you at GeoConX and good work on accepting the challenge. If you have any questions about how to navigate GeoNet or how best to connect with other members let us know. I'm looking forward to seeing the blog post too. I did mention our chat with our GeoNet team about your interest in the podcast and we'll keep you updated as we continue to develop our future GeoNet content plans. Have a great weekend!

Hi Clint, Welcome and thanks for joining GeoNet! I noticed that you posted this question in two other spaces. Generally we advise to just post your question in one space and "share" the post into other spaces so there's not multiple conversation going on. Here's a doc on how to share a post. I'm going to delete the other two posts in the other Education and YPN spaces and then share this post into them for you. Thanks again for joining us and here's a link to the GeoNet Resource Hub where you can find other tips and guides. Michelle Mathias‌ Leslie Fountain‌ Raquel Perez‌ Wilson Parnell‌ Rosemary Boone‌

Hi Oskar - First off, I'm sorry to hear that you haven't had the greatest experience on GeoNet. But I do thank you for sharing your honest feedback on your GeoNet experience. I wanted to respond back to a couple of your points... First, I wanted to let you know that we have heard similar feedback about the difficulties of navigating GeoNet and we are talking steps to improve the experience. We're in regular conversation with our GeoNet MVPs, Esri Staff and other members to help us make improvements on the current platform and help create a list of requirements for future enhancement, such as this one going on about ArcGIS Ideas. Yes, the goal is to make the community experience as intuitive as possible and we hope by working with you and other members we can make it easier to connect and collaborate. In the meantime, in case you've haven't seen them, I invite you to check out this collection of guides in the GeoNet Resource Hub that you can use. Secondly, yes, there are a lot of "dead and in-active" places on GeoNet and to address this we did an audit of the GeoNet places last year, and we will be completing the audit with a clean up and deletion of in-active spaces in the near future. Hopefully that audit will make it easier to find and participate in GeoNet group and spaces. As always, we love to have open conversations like this about your GeoNet experience and we want to hear what's working and what's not, so we can improve. I welcome your further feedback and let us know if you'd like to be involved in future GeoNet feedback sessions. Thanks, Chris

Thanks for contributing and posting the blog, Adrian. Great to see you at the GeoNet Meet-ups too and nice to see you're enjoying the swag items. I also echo Robert's thoughts about really enjoying UC. As staff, yes, it's exhausting but at the same time it's exciting and energizing to be around all our Esri users helping you any way we can. UC is one of my favorite times of the year because we get to connect with you in person, hear about your work and bring you together with other GeoNet members. As always, thanks for your feedback and we look forward to great rest of the year on GeoNet
