Booz Allen Hamilton's expertise engages innovative geographic information services (GIS) into full lifecycle support programs for clients, with a proven ability to bridge strategy, design, and implementation activities.

Booz Allen Hamilton will host a MENA focused seminar at the Esri International User Conference on July 24th, highlighting the broad range of applications of GIS across different sectors in the Gulf. Public health, security, national defense, sustainable development, transportation, nature conservation, management of natural resources, regional and community planning and landscape architecture are all essential to the development of Gulf infrastructure and the growth of its local economy and societies.

Commenting ahead of the conference, Booz Allen Hamilton's MENA General Manager Mr. Don Pressley said "GIS is essential in so many ways to so many different sectors, helping us understand our environment, effectively engineer change and see true progress. We believe that the use of GIS to search for common ground, collaborate and share information across different countries will be a hallmark of GIS development in the Gulf for the next 10 years, literally mapping the region's future."

The Esri International User Conference in San Diego draws more than 15,000 attendees each year. About 1,000 GIS professionals and Esri distributors attend the International Regional User Group (International RUG) meetings to network and collaborate with others in their respective regions. Participants at the conference share a common goal to overcome the operational challenges their organizations face and improve profitability by using GIS software and data.
