Tierra en Paz at the Esri User Conference

From July 10-14, 2023, the Esri User Conference was held in San Diego, California, a space created by Esri to learn about advances in geographic information systems (GIS) technology and share experiences.

The Tierra en Paz team visited San Diego with the objective of learning about ESRI's technological advances, establishing relationships with organizations for the general strengthening of Kadaster projects in Colombia and presenting the project at a conference.

The presentation, led by Laura Becerra, local project manager in Colombia, socialized the cadastral situation of the country and the application of the Fit for Purpose methodology with the support and empowerment of the communities. Also, the challenges in which the project continues working were highlighted. 

During the stay, meetings were also held with Esri Colombia, the Agustín Codazzi Geographic Institute, the Presidency of the Republic of Colombia and the director of Esri, Jack Dangermond. Among the commitments of these meetings, new possibilities with the use of the methodology were discussed, meetings were held with other government agencies in the country and new technological tools that can be used in the field were presented.
