NZEUC 2021 – Key Takeaways Resource

September 29, 2021 Posted by @GBS / in Blog category

Aligned with the Esri International User Conference, the New Zealand Esri User Conference is for GIS professionals from diverse industries including government and local government, energy, forestry, utilities, conservation, agriculture, infrastructure, telecommunications, and more.

This year due to New Zealand’s August/September lockdown, the decision was made to hold the conference on a virtual platform. All regional scheduled NZEUC events were moved to a single virtual platform, with the Plenary broadcasted live on September 14th, free to all registered participants.

In no particular order, here is a roundup of the top 15 takeaways from the NZEUC virtual event this year.  This list is based on the top takeaways of 8 GBS staff that were in attandence throughout.
