It's Almost Here!
We have a lot of last minute details for you, so let’s not spend time with introductory remarks here, just read on...
Keynote: Bern Szukalski
 This year's keynote is none other than Bern Szukalski, Esri's Chief Technology Advocate and Product Strategist. Bern is a popular and engaging speaker with over 30 years of GIS experience. You may recognize his name from the many blogs that he writes or perhaps you've seen him present at the Esri UC Plenary.
Bern will talk about how the evolution of GIS provides us opportunities to rethink what we do and how we work. You won't want to miss his keynote on Rethinking GiS.

What's Cooking?
it's a tough job feeding over 250 geospatial geeks, but the chefs at the Prescott Resort and Conference Center do a good job of keeping up with our unique tastes. So, if you're wondering what will be on your plate this year, check out the food and beverage menu.
