Esri UC Spotlight!

This year’s UC was something to remember. The Tuesday night meetup event was a massive success with over 80 NEARC members joining us at the Social Tap. Thanks to our sponsors Terracon and NV5 Geospatial for stepping up and supporting this wonderful event.

We also got to see some of our own on the Plenary Stage on the first day of the Conference. Jeff Amero, Katie Grillo, and William Witts (with the help from Bluesky International Limited) presented a talk on the City of Cambridge’s 3D program and their use of reality mapping. Be on the lookout, an encore presentation just might show up during the fall conference.

We also would like to congratulate all of our NEARC members who also presented at the Esri User Conference in San Diego. Please consider submitting a poster to showcase your UC presentation at the Fall NEARC Conference in New Haven, CT. (See details above on how to submit a poster).

Upcoming Community Events

Be on the lookout for upcoming community events taking place in coastal New Hampshire/Maine and on Martha's Vineyard. Details will be shared soon on the NEARC Community Events Page.
