The 2011 Esri International Developer Summit is this March 7-10 in Palm Springs
http://www.esri.com/events/devsummit/index.html
We are thinking the public launch of this site should correspond with the March 7 date.
But more importantly, we would like to sponsor someone from the gis.stackexchange.com community to attend this summit!
That means we will cover your airfare, hotel, and travel fees to make it to the summit, so long as you spend a little bit of time speaking at the summit, and of course mention our fine, fine GIS community here. :)
So, the question part of the question:
- Does this make sense? What else should we be thinking of for the conference?
- Who would like to go?
- Who is willing and able to speak at the conference?
Robert Cartaino, our community coordinator, will be following up.
