ESRI (UK) hosted the ESRI Europe, Middle East and Africa User Conference from October 28–30, 2008, at the Queen Elizabeth II Conference Centre, opposite the Houses of Parliament in London, England
The EMEA UC was the largest-ever GIS event in the UK with more than 1,600 attendees. The event, themed GIS for Everyday Life, helped users grasp ESRI’s vision for the future, where GIS solutions will continue to evolve and play an increasingly vital role in our lives. Participants ranged from end users and senior executives to business partners and industry analysts, involved in industries such as oil and gas, utilities, public works, and commercial business. The EMEA UC provided a broad spectrum of preconference seminars, user presentations, technology demonstrations, workshops, exhibits, and map displays for visitors to best discover how the benefits of GIS can be expanded throughout an organisation or community like never before.
