GeoConX 2016 — what could be better than spending a week with customers, partners, potential customers, and lifelong friends — plus Esri?  Well, we really don’t know!  

That’s why we are very excited to report another extremly successful Esri conference at GeoConX 2016!  SSP attended GeoConX in Phoenix, Arizona, this October. As always we had an amazingly successful time. Why is that?

First of all, it was you! We had record booth traffic! The conversation focused largely on the new Utility Network, including with migration demos that show how our SSP migration tools work to put your data into the Utility Network. And we also demonstrated Esri’s out-of-the-box Utility Network tracing functionality.

Don’t worry if you did not make it to the conference! You can find all our Utility Network demos on SSPTV.

We loved seeing everyone at Esri GeoConX 2016 in Phoenix, AZ!  Again, if you didn’t make it, don’t worry! You’re in store for the highlights if you keep reading.

In Summary, GeoConX 2016 was an amazing conference. SSP left with a lot of exciting new adventures ahead. The Utility Network was a big focus for SSP at this show, and it will not stop there. Continue to follow us and ask quesitons as the Utility Network path continues.

Thanks to all our customers and good friends for a wonderful conference with GeoConX 2016. SSP will be there next year and we look forward to seeing you. 

Thanks, Esri, for another job well done. 

See you next year in Chicago!
