Event attendees needing first aid during event hours should visit the First Aid Desk, located in the Primrose Lobby at the Palm Springs Convention Center.

For life-threatening emergencies, call 911 immediately from any available phone or cell phone, then notify security staff of the location so they can quickly direct first responders.

Common questions

Inappropriate behavior will not be tolerated. If you witness or are subjected to inappropriate behavior or have any other concerns, notify an Esri staff member at our Registration Desk as soon as possible. Appropriate action will be taken to ensure that the event maintains a safe and constructive environment for everyone—free of harassment, aggression, and intimidation.

The consequences of such behavior may include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Immediate removal from a session or meeting
  • Restricted access to future Esri events
  • Denial of attendance to future Esri events

Esri reserves the right to take any or all these disciplinary actions as deemed necessary for all events. We ask that all Esri staff and event attendees be mindful of the Esri Code of Conduct for Conferences and Community Spaces during the event.

Go to the Code of Conduct

For the safety and security of all involved, all event sessions, tracks, and exhibits are for registered attendees only unless otherwise noted. All registered attendees must be at least 18 years of age. However, Esri offers several opportunities for attendees to include their families, partners, and children in parts of the event.

Infants under two years of age may accompany registered attendees into the event sessions, workshops, Expo, and other activities if the infant is in a carrier and supervised at all times. If the infant begins to fuss or creates a distraction for other attendees in the session, we ask that the parent step out to attend to the infant. Exceptions may apply, so we request that attendees reach out via email and discuss individual needs with the Esri accessibility team.
