Planning For The ESRI New Zealand User Conference 2009

It’s fast approaching and there is less than a month to go now till the kick off of the ESRI New Zealand User Conference 2009.

Titled: “Your Place In The Geospatial Revolution”, the 14th Annual Conference will take place between the 2nd-5th November 2009 in Wellington, New Zealand!

With less than a month to go the agenda is just about finalised and planning is underway. Work has begun on preparing for the technical keynote session. The focus of this years technical keynote will be ArcGIS 9.4. We will be showcasing a number of new enhancements as part of a story we have scripted.

For me, it’s going to be yet another busy UC. I already have a number of things with my name attached to them. This year I will be presenting one of the workshops, three sessions, and part of the technical keynote. As per the latest agenda which can be found here:  http://www.gisuser.co.nz/downloads/… this is what I have lined up:

Monday 2nd November, 10am-1pm
Introduction to ESRI Developer Technology

Tuesday 3rd November, 1:30pm-2:30pm
ESRI Technology Update Keynote

Wednesday 4th November, 1:00pm-2:30pm
Developing With ArcGIS Web API’s
The Road Ahead 9.4, ArcGIS Server
The Road Ahead 9.4, ArcGIS Desktop

I am heading off to Redlands, CA next week for ArcGIS 9.4 Technical Transfer Sessions and don’t get back till a few days before the UC. So yes, quite a bit to prepare for in the next coming weeks!
