We’re happy to welcome you back to this year’s 2022 Esri User Conference! The event will be held in-person on July 11-15 in San Diego, California.
The User Conference is a great opportunity to meet the product teams and other GIS Professionals, to share your story, get advice, and learn more about all things GIS.
If you didn’t register yet, you can go ahead and do it by clicking on the button below! We are very excited to see you again!
We’ve prepared this itinerary for anyone interested in learning about the geodatabase and database functionalities, workflows, and data management best practices. We also included supporting materials, specific for each session, to help provide context and an opportunity to explore some of the capabilities, at your own convenience. So let’s get started!
Where can you meet us?
Stop by the Geodatabase Island in the ArcGIS Enterprise Area to connect with the team, get your questions answered, and share any ideas you might have.

Hybrid Session: Learn about two core geodatabase data modeling concepts that will improve your editors’ workflows and make your data more accurate out of the box. Attribute rules and contingent values can be authored with your geodatabase tables to automatically populate attributes, prevent unwanted values from ever being saved, or promote valid values at the time of editing using the ArcGIS Pro editing tools. Geodatabase administrative tasks will show how these concepts can be utilized to enhance the editing experience and produce quality data.
