Esri UK has announced that its 2015 Annual Conference, the biggest ever Esri GIS conference in the UK, will take place at the QEII Conference Centre, London on Tuesday 19 May 2015. With the theme ‘GIS Creating our Future’, the event will showcase how Esri’s ground-breaking new GIS applications are being used by customers in everyday life, from the government to businesses and individuals. Customers and guest speakers will also talk about how GIS is helping them to confront today’s global challenges from pollution and climate change, to population growth and urbanisations.

Keynote speakers include Marco Sala, Senior GI Technical Specialist at Network Rail; Graham Morgan, Sellafield Ltd; Fraser King, Mobile Analytics Product Development Manager at Vodafone Global Enterprise and Paul Ahern, Irish Water. Esri UK’s new Managing Director Stuart Bonthrone will kick off the conference by delivering the opening plenary address.

“This free one-day conference provides a great opportunity for GIS professionals to hear inspirational speakers, network with over 2,000 skilled GIS professionals, meet up with the Esri UK team and to discover new tips and techniques in best practice for GIS,” said Bonthrone. “The conference broke previous attendance records last year. This year, with nine tracks, over 70 presentations, product demos, workshops and training sessions, we are expecting it to be busier than ever.”
