Redlands, California — As one of the fastest-growing parts of Esri’s business, the commercial sector continues to redefine how location information, knowledge, and insight are created, shared, and applied. Location strategy has transformed the way organizations approach problem solving, allowing them to achieve more with less and helping them successfully engage with customers within real estate, retail, manufacturing, insurance, and many other industries.

Join us at the 2016 Esri Business Summit and discover how a location strategy can apply context to business information and analytics so that organizations obtain the insight they need to compete and perform at top-notch levels.

The Business Summit is the ideal forum for executives and technical professionals to engage with peers from the global commercial community, learn from companies that have successfully implemented a location strategy, and sit down with Esri business managers to map out a game plan for success.

Experience the Business Summit and take away value. Here’s what Jon Voorhees, SVP of retail distribution, Bank of America, has to say:

“One of the things I’ve learned over the last couple days is [that], while we may be ahead of most of our competitors, we are so far behind [in] where technology can [take] us today. And we’ve got to catch up, because someone’s going to pass us in their ability to think better; have better insight; and therefore make better, faster decisions. And so we’ve got to get back to it. We can’t get complacent. [Esri has] created so many new tools that 15 years ago, when I started with the bank, we could only dream of.”
