Who Is GIS? Photo Booth
You are GIS, and your story deserves to be told on a trading card. Come and get yours made at the Who is GIS? booth inside the GIS Solutions EXPO. Trade them, stack them, put them between the spokes of your 10-speed. Or, as any good collector would do, just hold onto them in hopes that they'll accrue in value over time. The booth will be open during EXPO hours on Monday and Tuesday.
GIS Technical Support
The GIS Technical Support Island is staffed with experts where you can talk one-to-one with Esri staff. They can answer your questions, collect your feedback, help you navigate your challenges, and share best practices with you.
