#EsriUC2026

A pleasure to be part of the Zoom livestream today in the #EsriUC2026 Map Gallery to announce winners of the Global Climate GeoDesign Competition, seeking GIS-enabled urban, metropolitan, regional, or national spatial designs to maximize climate benefits around the world. @katharinehayhoe.com

In my view, the absolutely coolest 76-year-old on the planet, Kristine Tompkins, former CEO of Patagonia, married to Doug Tompkins (CEO of North Face) now CEO of Tompkins Conservation, is just blowing our minds at the #EsriUC2026 . Their heroic wildlife re-wilding work making our hears soar!

It begins yet again! For the 35th time! Heading to the Esri User Conference in San Diego! See you soon at #EsriUC2026 among ~20,000 map geeks!!! #gischat

My 24th Esri UC done and dusted. A huge thank you to everyone who watched Mappy Hour, came to our mapping sessions, or watched remotely. It means so much to see and hear from you all, particularly all the lovely comments. Safe travels. Let's do it again next year! #EsriUC2026

My favourite map in the #EsriUC2026 map gallery is "From Sand to Scoop" by Stephanie Pelletier showing walkability between Cape Cod's beaches and ice cream shops. Great symbology throughout. The waffle cone north arrow is literally the cherry on top! mapgallery.esri.com/event….
