Important Announcement
September 29, 2021
In the best interest of the conference and its attendees, the NEARC Board of Directors has made the difficult decision to pivot to a fully remote conference for Fall 2021. It is an unfortunate testament to the times that our registration numbers are significantly lower than we had hoped for. While we had high expectations this pandemic would be behind us by now, these are still difficult times. Many of us are still struggling with personal, financial, and professional challenges.
Over the course of the next week you can expect to hear from us with additional details about the conference schedule, registration, hotel cancellation and more. The Board of Directors, Host Committee, and other individuals involved with planning this conference have done and will continue to do everything they can to make this event successful and worthwhile for our community. We ask for your patience and support as we navigate through this transition.
We look forward to seeing you online from October 17th-20th and now more than ever, we are looking forward to reuniting at the Mount Washington Inn in New Hampshire for Fall 2022!
Sincerely,
Katie Grillo, NEARC President and the NEARC Board

About Fall NEARC
NEARC is not just for the GIS faithful. Yes, NEARC is for GIS practitioners, but NEARC is for anyone who wants to see the value GIS technology brings to their own environment and the world. This conference is very valuable for new users as well as those who have been using GIS for many years.
If you are going to attend NEARC this fall, you might consider also bringing along your Supervisor, Town Manager, DPW Director, IT Director, and your Finance Manager; anyone who would benefit from seeing the value of GIS first hand. You will absolutely walk away saying "NEARC is worth every penny!"

What Learning Opportunities Will I Find at NEARC?
There are several different kinds of learning opportunities available to you at a NEARC conference:
- Technical training from Esri – Learn the tips & tricks of Esri software directly from Esri technical staff. Try out different extensions at the "Collaboration Center". Hear about the Esri vision and road map from Esri leadership.
- User to user sessions – Users helping users is key. GIS is a community of people who are open and helpful. You will connect with an amazing group of people eager to share knowledge no matter what your role in GIS is. There will be many different presentations from users that have been successful with GIS in projects for their organizations. These presentations are organized into ‘tracks’ so that you can dig more deeply into areas that may be of interest to you. This year’s tracks may include the list below. Final topic areas are still being determined.
- Public Safety
- Municipal
- Education
- Emerging Technology
- Natural Resources
- Mobile Technology
- Facilities Management
- Community building activities – Often the best person to get advice from is someone who has had similar experiences and solved similar problems in their own world. Over time, the network of relationships you will build by attending NEARC will become a very useful learning community to you. You may also find that you have a lot to offer the community in return.
