That’s a wrap on #EsriUC2025! Thanks to everyone who visited #OvertureMaps, joined the Passport Adventure with @awscloud, @Meta, @TomTom, @Maxar, @nearmap & @conterra , and congrats to our Capybara winners 🧸✨ Grateful for this amazing community 💛

🌍 At #EsriUC, Executive Director Prioleau shared how the “conflation tax” is slowing geospatial innovation. When IDs don’t align, teams spend more time merging than analyzing. #OvertureMaps + #GERS are here to fix that. Come see us at booth #266!
