Blue Raster Exhibiting at 2025 Esri User Conference in San Diego
Blue Raster is excited to exhibit again at the 2025 Esri User Conference, happening July 14-18 in San Diego, California. As one of the largest gatherings of GIS professionals and innovators worldwide, the Esri UC is the place to explore new technologies and connect through the power of spatial thinking.
Why Attend the 2025 Esri User Conference?
The conference kicks off with the Plenary Session, themed GIS-Integrating Everything, Everywhere. GIS acts as a universal language, connecting data from around the world to help us better understand our environment. Esri President Jack Dangermond will lead the session, along with keynote speaker Dr. Kirk Johnson, Sant Director of the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History. Dr. Johnson will share insights from his work exploring over a thousand fossil sites and his research on the extinction of the dinosaurs. He'll also talk about the critical role of museums in advancing scientific knowledge and how GIS supports that mission. Fun fact: Smithsonian Institute is a Blue Raster client!
In addition to the keynotes, you'll see live demos of the latest GIS tools and hear how organizations like CVS Health, CAL FIRE, and San Francisco International Airport are using GIS to drive real-world change.
The 2025 Esri User Conference in San Diego is a chance to see what's next in GIS technology. No matter which industry you represent, you'll find ideas and connections that help you use spatial data more effectively. Blue Raster's team will be there all week, from the Plenary to the Expo, sharing how we help clients solve challenges through GIS solutions.
Meet the Blue Raster Team
Blue Raster will be at booth 1912, near the GIS for Good zone. We're excited to show you how we use ArcGIS to tackle real-world challenges and make data work for our clients. Six of our team members will be there all week, ready to hear about your goals, share ideas, and swap stories.
Come say hi and check out some of our latest projects. We'll have live demos running, plus fun giveaways and plenty of candy to share!
