The Esri User Conference takes place once a year and is the largest GIS conference in the world. This year saw the return of the conference to the San Diego Convention Center in California for the first time in three years due to the Covid-19 Pandemic. Approx. 30,000 people were signed up for this year’s event, with 14,000 in-person attendees and 16,000 online. On July 11th, Jack Dangermond (leader of Esri) opened the 5-day event with the plenary session in front of thousands of enthusiastic and excited GIS users from around the world. His speech outlined the importance of GIS in a global society for dealing with some of the toughest challenges we face in the here and now, such as pandemics, war and global climate change. Jack highlighted some of the Esri products that help us to do so, including the ArcGIS API for JavaScript which was used to develop the Selkie tool.
