By Katie Decker

Important news regarding this event

Esri has decided to cancel the 2022 Esri Federal GIS Conference.

In response to feedback from our customers, partners, and staff, the current COVID situation, changing government policies around conference attendance, and in the interest of the safety of all attendees. All paid registration, sponsorship, and exhibit fees will be refunded in full. No additional action will be required.

As an alternative, we will be hosting a two-hour special broadcast hosted by Esri President Jack Dangermond, starting at 1 p.m. EST on February 22, 2022. This livestream will feature updates on your work and Esri’s vision and direction for 2022. Please save the date on your calendar and we will be providing more information soon.

Visit the FedGIS website to learn more and read FAQ.

Still, we hope you’ll take a moment to review the innovative startups who had planned to exhibit and speak and connect with them directly to learn more.

Your health and safety are of the utmost importance to us, and we hope to see you next year!
