GIS Managers' Open Summit

Tuesday, July 9, 8:00 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. Ballroom 20, B/C

The GIS Managers' Open Summit is an unconference event designed for GIS managers, business and technology strategists, and other decision makers attending the Esri UC. The summit offers opportunities to engage in conversations with peers on topics that relate to business efficiencies, ROI, managing data, and more.

The summit features a few scheduled speakers, but is primarily driven by an open schedule grid, which allows all attendees the opportunity to suggest session topics onsite. Topics might include lessons learned from a GIS integration or cloud deployment; or strategies for working successfully with senior executive teams or IT departments.

We encourage you to sign up for the summit in advance to inform others that you'll be there and suggest any topics you would like to discuss. We look forward to seeing you!

Note:  You must be registered for the 2013 Esri UC to participate. Please bring your conference badge to the summit.
