The 2012 Esri International User Conference is next month and we wanted to take a minute to highlight sessions/events for those interested in learning more about ArcGIS for Local Government and the maps and apps available within each module (Land Records, Water Utilities, Public Safety, Elections, Planning and Development, etc.) of the solution.

In addition, you’ll also be able to use the sessions to meet up with peers who have already implemented many of the maps and apps.
The sessions we’ve highlighted are only a small part of the experience available to you at the User Conference. There are hundreds of Moderated Paper Presentations and Tech Workshops to attend as well as countless opportunities to exchange information with your peers. Use Agenda Search and Planner to plan your UC schedule and search the Agenda by keywords such as “local government, public safety, water, sewer, land records, or planning” if you’re looking for additional sessions to attend.
And if we miss you at one of the Tech Workshops, stop by the Industry Island, SIG, or catch us on Twitter during the conference. Enjoy the UC and we look forward to seeing you there.
