2023 Esri UC: Eos Positioning Systems’ Recap Video

The 2023 Esri User Conference (Esri UC) returned to San Diego, California, and Eos Positioning Systems was pleased to participate as an event Gold Sponsor. Not only did we have a record-breaking number of conversations in our booth, but we also both met and reconnected with hundreds of our customers and like-minded professionals. It was so great to see everyone in person, and our team is still buzzing about the interactions they had and following up on our in-person conversations. To commemorate the 2023 Esri UC, we’ve put together this video recap of our favorite highlights. Watch the video, or browse standalone photos capturing our experience.

2023 Esri UC: The Buildup to the UC …

On the weekend before the conference, our team trickled into San Diego from all over the world. Some of them played golf, while others set up the booth, and still others enjoyed the scenic view as they left home and got into San Diego.

2023 Esri UC: Exhibit Hall Opens Tuesday, July 11, with Eos in Booth 819

With over a dozen representatives flying in from all over the world, the Eos booth was one of our most eclectic yet. (Peter wins the “longest distance flown” award for flying in from Melbourne, Australia.) After running out of Eos swag on the first day, our team kept up the pace with rich conversations. Meanwhile, GIS users interested in GNSS brought their energy, providing some of the most interesting and enjoyable conversations we’ve had. We are so grateful for everyone who dropped by our booth to say hello — including customers, partners, friends of Eos, peers, and those interested in GNSS solutions for the first time. It is impossible to showcase all the photos we took (and forgot to take), but these are some of our favorites …
