A digital event with 80K+ registered attendees

Esri User Conference is the world’s largest GIS (geospatial information systems) conference that takes place in San Diego every year with over 18,000 attendees. In 2020, we quickly re-imagined what has been an in-person event for over 50 years as a fully-interactive online experience that over 80,000 people attended from the comfort of their homes.

A couple months in 2020

I created the UX and UI for the home page experience that aimed to feel as awe-inspiring as walking in person into the convention center on the first day of the conference.

I also did the UX and UI for the actual event experience. I worked with over 100 Esri employees across various teams and Freeman Online, a digital event platform, to make UC come to life.
