The world’s largest geographic information system (GIS) conference is taking place July 14-18 in San Diego, California—both in-person and virtually. Thousands of professionals from across the globe will unite at Esri’s User Conference (UC) around the 2025 theme: GIS—Integrating Everything, Everywhere.

This year’s theme underscores the power of GIS in bridging disciplines, industries, and communities to foster collaboration, innovation, and sustainable decision-making on a global scale. Fitting well into this theme is the integration of GIS with building information modeling (BIM) and computer-aided design (CAD).
