Location intelligence takes centre stage at Esri Ireland’s inaugural conference

Esri Ireland, the market leader in Geographic Information Systems (GIS), is announcing that its inaugural user conference will take place at The Round Room at Dublin’s Mansion House on Wednesday, 29th April 2026.

Themed Building a Stronger Future, the conference will showcase how location intelligence can enable smarter decision-making across our island’s critical infrastructure sector. It will be opened with an address from Minister of State for Public Expenditure, Infrastructure, Public Service Reform and Digitalisation, Frank Feighan TD.

On the day, attendees will have a chance to hear from Esri Ireland customers on how they are using geospatial technology to transform their operations.

ESB will explore how GIS is supporting the organisation’s critical role in Ireland’s Climate Action Plan and aims to reach net zero emissions by 2040, while Dublin Airport will examine how location intelligence is enabling large-scale infrastructure investments to take off – catering for its future growth and expansion. Attendees will hear how broadband provider Fibrus is using geospatial technologies to roll out next-generation fibre networks, and Northern Ireland Water will demonstrate evidence-led approaches to reducing demand on wastewater infrastructure.

A panel of industry experts, hosted by Gordon Smith, will debate the challenges and opportunities of infrastructure development, while Esri Ireland’s own experts will share new insights across a range of topics including artificial intelligence, field operations, GeoBIM, and Digital Twins.

The free-to-attend event will bring together GIS professionals, industry leaders, and key stakeholders, with up to 500 people expected to attend.  For more information and to register, click here.
