Call for Presentations

The popular kid is back. The user presentation area was a hit last year, so we made some tweaks to this event highlight and are gearing up for new submissions.

The DevSummit user presentations are meant to follow a "how did you, how
can I" concept. So, share your work and help out your pals. Whether it’s a clever application, design ideas, code samples, or you want to lead a discussion of some hot developer topic, this is the spot to show your stuff.

Want to know what’s different from last year?

• Twice as many presentation slots are available.
• The presentations are more in sync with the technical workshop agenda, helping attendees make it to both.
• They’ll take place in centrally-located conference rooms instead of a demo theater setup in the Community Center.

Tips

You bring the topics, and the developer community tells us what they want to learn about.

• Share content that you believe will be interesting and useful to developers, even if ESRI technologies aren’t the focus, whatever you think is important and what others could really use in their work.
• For example, many of the more popular sessions last year focused on topics of general interest like the Agile software development process, unit testing, RESTful-ness, OpenLayers, and the MVC architectural pattern.
• But of course, if you’re developing with ArcGIS, this is also the place to show your work, maps, application design, code, successes and challenges, tips and tricks, and more.
• While many of you represent organizations that sell products and services, we ask that this not be the focus of your presentation—these presentations should highlight your good ideas that developers can discuss and use, rather than serve as a sales demo.
