Your Concierge for the Esri Showcase and GIS Solutions EXPO
With so much to see and experience, the UC can be a lot to process. It can be tough to find that certain developer or organization you’re looking for amidst the 15,000 attendees and more than 300 exhibitors. Luckily, the folks at the ArcGIS Product Info Center are there to help.

The 2013 UC agenda search and planner is now live! You can use our agenda app to find the sessions, workshops, and presentations that most interest you and start building a schedule for your week in San Diego.

Maps, Maps, Everywhere
If there’s one thing you’re guaranteed to see at UC (aside from thousands of other geogeeks), it’s a map. Covering virtually every topic from every corner of the globe, the Esri UC features thousands of stunning and informative web maps, mobile maps, and printed maps that all beg for your attention.
First Timers Share their Aha Moments
For some people, it hits them the first time they walk into the Plenary Session and see 15,000 other geogeeks. For others, it comes after a chance meeting in the GeoLounge with someone who knows exactly what they’re going through. It’s that moment when you realize that the Esri UC isn’t just another conference—it’s a celebration of geography and innovation, and you play the leading role.
“The UN General Assembly of GIS”
Even we were amazed by the overwhelming number of you that registered for Esri UC within minutes of the webpages going live last month. As we were en route to our best opening day in the history of UC, Jeff Dickey of Salt Lake City, Utah, managed to sneak in before anyone else. In what has now become an Esri UC tradition, we took some time to speak with Jeff about all things UC and to find out how he is GIS.
Esri: Congrats and thank you for being the first person to register for the 2013 Esri UC. You’re listed as the GIS Manager for Barrick Gold. Can you tell us more about that?
Jeff Dickey: I’ve been with Barrick for two years and I’m the GIS Manager of the North American Regional Land Department. We use GIS to manage all of our cadastral records. We hold title to over 30,000 unpatented mining claims, in addition to thousands of acres of surface and mineral holdings.

In Your Words: The GIS Solutions EXPO
At 440,000 total square feet, the GIS Solutions EXPO is truly a sight to behold. Almost all of us can vividly recall our first encounter with the sprawling showcase that features more than 300 geospatial exhibitors interspersed with technical islands and demo theaters staffed by Esri’s experts.
Ready. Set. Go!
We are thrilled to announce that event and hotel registration are now open for the 2013 Esri International User Conference. We opened registration even earlier this year to give you extra time to start planning and budgeting for your geospatial odyssey to San Diego.
Think it’s too early to register and that you’ve got plenty of time? Here are two reasons you should reconsider that: Continue reading
