Taking it all in at the Esri User Conference

Taking it all in at the Esri User Conference

My wife and I enjoyed another trip to San Diego, California for the Esri User Conference. Being the first time returning in person since 2019, I was very impressed to see such a great turn out at the conference. Here is a small recap of our time at the UC:

Leading the Way at WATERCON 2022

Leading the Way at WATERCON 2022

Another WATERCON has come and passed, but what a show it was! Bill, Jon, Matt and even Sahara put in time at the booth during the show, and it was a good thing all of us were there, as the attendance was fantastic. Billing themselves as one of the premier conferences relating to water and waster water systems in the Midwest, the number of attendees, educational sessions, and vendors proved it.

Daniel and I made it back earlier this week from presenting and exhibiting at the Missouri Public Safety Communications Conference (MPSCC) in Branson, MO. As the push for Next Generation 9-1-1 services throughout the United Sates continues, Missouri sits primed and ready for help with their GIS data.

On Wisconsin: WLIA 2022 Annual Conference Recap

It all started on chilly Wednesday morning. Cloudpoint packed up the van and headed towards Elkhart Lake WI and the WLIA 2022 Annual Conference. On the way, however, we couldn't pass up the opportunity to do some business. After a quick lunch, Hunter and Erin met with the public works department of the city of Zion IL.

ILGISA 2021 Recap: Connection Reestablished

Cloudpoint was thrilled to not only sponsor this great conference and organization once again, but we were also ecstatic to see everyone in-person again! After a trying past year of virtual conferences, getting together again (even with the continued safety of masks) and reconnecting was a wonderful experience…

ESRI Water Conference 2016

Last week I had the pleasure of attending the 2016 ESRI Water Conference in Austin, TX (not a bad place to be in February). This was the second annual iteration of the conference, and this year they included not only utilities, but also water resources. And I think that was an interesting move, to expand the scope to a broader look at the water cycle.

Naturally there were a plenty of interesting GIS uses and technologies showcased from streamflow and flood prediction to a growing number of mobile applications. Primarily interested in the keeping up with the latest ESRI has to offer, I got the most excitement out of the upcoming releases of applications like Collector and Survey123, and the news of development for a new Utility Network Model. It was also pretty awesome to hear what other organizations like the City of Philadelphia are doing with the technology and water management.

 

Austin was a great venue and the downtown scene had plenty of great food and music. And for those dealing with water and GIS, I'd recommend this conference if you get the chance. It's a nice, more focused alternative to the UC, or early addition / sneak peak.
