Esri International Developer Summit

Welcome New Explorers

Putting technology and geography to work.

March 25–28, 2013
Palm Springs Convention Center

A Meeting of the Brightest Minds in Mapping.

Join a few thousand developers and geo-technologists as we introduce ArcGIS 10.2, the latest location-based platform, set to release this June. Discover all the new Runtime SDKs, check out the most innovative applications using this new technology, and meet the people behind our next level mapping continuum*.

*“Mapping continuum” is a totally made up term. That’s what New Explorers do.
