ESRI DeveloperSummit 2007 Agenda

The Conference for Java, .NET, Mapping, and Spatial Developers

March 19–22, 2007Palm Springs Convention Center

and Wyndham Hotel Palm Springs, California

www.esri.com/devsummit

Dear Developers:

It is my pleasure to welcome you to Palm Springs and to the ESRI Developer Summit. This event is just for developers—planned and presented by devel-opers so that you can dive deep into ESRI® products and APIs to further your abilities to develop geographic applications.

At the ESRI Developer Summit 2006, much of our focus was on what was coming in ArcGIS® 9.2. This year, our focus will be on released software and how you can work with it. We’re excited about 9.2, and we want to cover it all with you—desktop, engine, mobile, and server development. Within server development, it’s not just about Web-based applications, but it’s also about desktop-based applications leveraging services within ArcGIS Server, publishing your resources and building Web applications out of the box, and extending ArcGIS Server to do the things you want with geoprocessing. These are the key elements we want to focus on this year.

The developer community gave us great feedback last year on how to make this an even better event. We’ve added more content, expanding it to three and one-half days. The summit will open with a Plenary Session with senior developers, software architects, and product managers from ESRI covering key features of ArcGIS software. This year, we will have four types of techni-cal sessions organized around best practices, in-depth software looks, panel discussions, and road map sessions that will lay out what’s possible with ESRI software.

One aspect of the summit that I am very excited about is the Community Center, where developers can get together to talk in small groups or one-on-one. It will have a Tech Talk area for postsession gatherings. In fact, after every session, presenters will go directly to the Tech Talk area to continue discussion or delve more deeply into topics or details that you want to talk about. This is what the summit is all about—delving deep into our developer software so that you can build creative, practical, and effective GIS solutions for your organizations and customers.

ESRI development staff are very excited to be here, and they look forward to sharing knowledge and ideas with you. Thank you for attending and for developing geographic applications and geospatial capabilities that help manage our world.

Have a great time at the summit.

Sincerely,

Jack Dangermond President
