New Event—ESRI Developer Summit
Developers, software architects, and decision makers interested in building GIS applications are invited to the first ESRI Developer Summit, March 17–18, 2006, in Palm Springs, California. The event immediately precedes the annual ESRI Worldwide Business Partner Conference. Experienced and new developers alike—including non-ESRI developers who have yet to enhance their solution by adding a GIS component—will gain an understanding of the value of spatially enabled applications. Sponsorship opportunities are available and offer a number of ways to reach out to the developer community.
