Knowledge-Sharing is What the ESRI UC is All About

Whatever your industry, position, or level of experience with ESRI GIS technology, be part of the ESRI UC knowledge-sharing and submit an abstract for possible presentation at the 2009 event. Moderated user presentation sessions add so much to the experience of conference attendees. And as a presenter, the imparting of insights, tips, and lessons learned, as well as the networking these sessions lead to, is unbeatable. We can’t wait to hear your GIS story.
