The UC is all about sharing information and learning from one another. We’ve added something this year that will give you another opportunity to do that—the availability of Specialty Teams in the Geodatabase Management, Mapping and Visualization, and Server GIS islands in the ESRI Showcase.

What makes them so special, you might be asking? All of our product islands are staffed by ESRI experts—product development and technical marketing staff who know “their” product like the back of their hand. But what distinguishes the Specialty Teams is that they are made up of staff who have knowledge and expertise on a wide range of more specific topics—and having these Specialty Teams available at scheduled times will make it easier for you to connect with them.

Specialty Teams will be available Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday to discuss topics such as the ESRI GIS Portal Toolkit, internationalization, graphing and animation, annotation and labeling, linear referencing, and map projections, just to name a few. View the complete schedule of topics and times on pages 152–155 of the agenda [PDF].
