The world's largest geospatial technology conference and user symposium, attracting over 15,000 users across government agencies, private enterprises, research institutions, and non-profits to San Diego, California, July 13-17, 2026. Hosted by Esri, a leading GIS (geographic information systems) platform provider, the conference features a dedicated Climate and Sustainability series showcasing real-world applications of spatial data science for climate risk mapping, habitat and biodiversity change analysis under climate change scenarios, geographic inventory of city-level greenhouse-gas emissions, and tracking nature-based solutions. Hands-on training sessions enable climate analysts, environmental scientists, urban planners, and conservation professionals to master advanced remote sensing, satellite imagery analysis, and spatial modeling tools. The Science Symposium and dozens of technical tracks address climate adaptation strategies, biodiversity conservation, land-use optimization, ecosystem service valuation, and the critical role of geospatial intelligence in monitoring and achieving ambitious net-zero targets.
