Now the experience has been made accessible to all.\r\n\r\nEsri has provided Esri International User Conference (Esri UC) attendees with free access to the more than 30 pairings of brilliant minds from the conference through the WWW Conference app for iPad and iPad Mini. People can easily revisit the extraordinary conversations and\u2014moreover\u2014exclusive material, such as new videos of Pritzker Prize-winning architect Frank Gehry and hand-edited drafts from Pulitzer Prize-winning poet C.

An intimate venue, a single host, two people and one audience.\"\r\n\r\nThomas Fisher, dean of the College of Design at the University of Minnesota, wrote in\u00a0<em>The Huffington Post<\/em>, \"All of [the speakers] seemed to share one trait; the relentless pursuit of a big idea or passion, regardless of what their colleagues or critics thought.\"\r\n\r\nThe WWW app showcases the intimacy of the individual and the power of the idea through its elegant filming and presentation style. Choose a conversation, speaker details, or supplemental material\u2014it's all available in an intuitive mobile environment.\r\n\r\nNow available in\u00a0iTunes, the app is free for Esri UC attendees or can be purchased for US$3.99. Selecting the first letter of a speaker's first or last name in the interactive alphabet allows you to begin learning about those that participated in the conference.\r\n\r\nIn the final quarter of 2013, the app will undergo a massive update. More material will be added to enhance the depth of the unique experience and will only be accessible through the app. As the year progresses, more speaker contributions will be included in a major
