2008 User Software Applications Fair Awards

The 2008 ESRI UC was truly a place for GIS professionals to shine. Proof of this could be found at the User Software Applications Fair, where conference attendees could drop by to view custom maps and see demonstrations of applications that use ESRI software to meet specific end-user requirements.
