GeoNet

GeoNet is the place where users can share, chat, and collaborate on all things geo. GeoNet exists to extend the user conference experience to 365 days a year.

Launch
GeoNet started with a soft launch of a Resilience Community in April 2014 to support the climate challenge presented by President Barack Obama and the White House. A core group of resilience-focused users were invited to the community to try it out and provide feedback. Their participation allowed the community to develop further as Esri pushed towards the User Conference launch of a community that revolved around all things geo.

On July 14, 2014, GeoNet was launched at the 2014 Esri User Conference. Jack Dangermond briefly announced the new community during the plenary.

What is GeoNet
GeoNet is more than a new forums location. Forums are only a part of the larger community. The community is there as a tool to help you, the GIS user, get your job done better and more efficiently. You can create discussions, upload files, collaborate on documents, share videos, write blog posts, and much more. These content items can be created within a space focused on a particular topic or industry. Those who follow that place will receive notification of new activity and can get engaged in the conversations.
