An urban planner, a geographer, and a sociologist walk into a bar. No, it\u2019s not the beginning of a bad joke\u2014it\u2019s just another day at the world\u2019s largest gathering of GIS (Geographic Information Systems) professionals, the ESRI User Conference held annually in San Diego, CA.<\/p>\n

\"A
A sign at the conference hints at how GIS can aid in urban planning, public works, community development.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This conference may be\u00a0the \u201cmappiest place on Earth,\u201d bringing together nearly 17,000 professionals from a diverse range of fields, across public and private sectors, to be inspired by their peers\u2019 GIS work, and to learn about the latest geospatial methods, research, and cutting-edge technology.<\/p>\n

But wait, \u201cwhat\u2019s GIS?\u201d you might ask. If you\u2019ve ever used Google Maps, you\u2019ve used GIS (okay, it\u2019s a bit more complex than that). Want to know whether crime hot spots are associated with street lighting? Ever wondered whether the distance from parks impacts people\u2019s likelihood of exercising? GIS can help answer these questions.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s something for everyone at the ESRI User Conference.<\/div>\n

I presented at the Education Conference, where GIS educators share valuable pedagogical lessons and best practices to help them maximize student learning in this rapidly evolving field. In my session on Service Learning, I described the benefits and challenges in using service learning projects in an introductory GIS course (ENV 310 here at Chapman). Other great presentations included a non-profit organization using GIS and student interns to aid in their\u00a0conservation efforts, and a New Zealand organization using GIS to help clients have a central site to find information about service availability near them.<\/p>\n

Dr. Georgiana Bostean presenting at the ESRI Education conference<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

For students, there are many unique attractions, including hands-on GIS learning activities, map consulting services with expert cartographers, and enthralling keynote addresses by provoking thought leaders. This year, the New York Times<\/em> bestselling author, Andrea Wulf, spoke passionately about Alexander von Humboldt\u2019s major (but today, nearly forgotten) influence on our conception of nature and the importance of conservation.<\/p>\n

This year, two Chapman students had the opportunity to experience this huge and unique event, or more appropriately, “experience.\u201d K.C. Hoppel and Derek Itagaki are environmental science & policy majors who were students in\u00a0the Intro to GIS course I taught in Spring, 2016. \u00a0Here\u2019s what K.C.\u00a0had to say about the ESRI conference:<\/p>\n

\u201cWalking into the Esri User Conference, I was astounded by the amount of people, but also the amount of knowledge and passion that was present. Walking away, I had a better understanding of how critical GIS work is in visualizing the evolving environmental, economic, and social problems we face today. I would recommend the conference to any one interested in learning about the interconnectedness of things and the groundbreaking technology being implemented to show this relationship.” – K.C. Hoppel<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Sound intriguing? Students receive a free day pass to the event! So, next year make sure to check out the 2017 ESRI User Conference website and join 17,000 of your closest GIS professionals to find out for yourself what all the fuss is about.<\/p>\n

And if you find yourself wanting to know more, check out our ENV 310 course!<\/p>\n

Even with 17,000 attendees, we still ran into our neighbors, the GIS team from the City of Orange Public Works Department.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
