Via Esri… Noting a central challenge of our time—a lack of understanding and a failure to collaborate—Esri Founder and President Jack Dangermond told an audience of thousands of mapping professionals this week that the work they’re doing would be essential to solving it.
“You are being called upon, at this most critical point in human civilization, to provide the language, to provide the solutions, to provide the methods, and to provide the fundamental infrastructure to help civilization find common ground,” he said Monday at the launch of the 42nd annual Esri User Conference.
It was the first time in three years that the Redlands-based global leader in geographic information systems (GIS) technology had convened its annual user conference in person, attracting more than 14,000 attendees to the San Diego Convention Center.
