Welcome to the ESRI UC Blog Welcome to the ESRI User Conference Blog, created to bring the conference experience online. The ESRI User Conference will bring some 15,000 GIS users to San Diego August 7-11 to explore, together, how GIS can better serve organizations and our communities. This is the largest GIS event in the world, and I encourage you to attend if you haven’t already planned to do so. During the conference week, we will bring you highlights of the many events going on, such as the Plenary Session and Map Gallery. We invite you to submit comments and post entries to share your conference experiences with fellow attendees and others who want to learn more about the conference. To submit a post, send an e-mail to UCblog@esri.com. Or, if you read a blog that interests you, click the comment link at the end of the entry to share your thoughts on the subject.

This exchange of information is what the ESRI community is all about. We move forward together, sharing knowledge, sharing stories, and communicating our world. Have a great conference.

Sincerely,Jack Dangermond, ESRI President
