Join the Esri equity and social justice user community for a day of learning, networking, and inspiration at Esri’s regional office in Minneapolis, Minnesota. We’ll host a series of sessions and tech demos that explore the ways that organizations can apply GIS to make an equitable impact.
You will have the chance to meet with Esri solution engineers and equity leaders, so come prepared with questions or projects you may be working on. Throughout the day, there will be ample opportunity to build connections, get your questions answered, and participate in meaningful discussion around the future of GIS for equity practices.
We will start the seminar at 8:00 a.m. with a chance to sign in, network, and grab coffee at Esri’s Minneapolis regional office. Our main program will begin at 9:00 a.m. and end at 3:00 p.m., followed directly by a social.
We hope you will join us and learn more about location-based solutions for achieving equity!
