The 2026 Esri User Conference (UC 2026) will be held from July 13 to 17, 2026, in San Diego, California, USA. This year’s theme, “GIS – Creating a More Intelligent World,” highlights the idea that true intelligence comes from geographic understanding—seeing where things happen and how systems connect across space and time.

As the world’s largest GIS conference, the Esri User Conference provides a unique platform for exploring the latest advances in geospatial technology and exchanging ideas with GIS professionals and users from around the world. A key highlight of the conference will once again be the Plenary Session, where Esri President Dr. Jack Dangermond will share his vision for the future of GIS and unveil the latest ArcGIS innovations.

Across the five days, the conference will offer more than 450 hours of technical training, hundreds of user presentations featuring best practices and real-world applications, and valuable opportunities for one-on-one consultations with Esri subject matter experts, developers, and industry leaders. It is also an excellent opportunity to connect with peers, gain fresh ideas, and discover new ways to enhance GIS applications and daily workflows through Esri UC Additional Events.
