Given that “cloud” has become one of the most used technology buzzwords of the decade, it’s not surprising that the Esri International User Conference 2012 is shaping up to offer an impressive number of cloud sessions on the agenda.

This year’s presentations are aimed at equipping the cloud-initiated with the information and answers you need to successfully implement cloud solutions.

You’ll also see an abundance of sessions about ArcGIS Online, aimed at exposing attendees to the variety of functionality present in Esri’s SaaS offering.  Some highlights include demonstrations about consuming external content to craft well-designed symbols and pop-ups; and how to move your on-premise desktop maps from ArcMap into an ArcGIS Online organizational account — a new offering which allows you to tailor ArcGIS Online to your business or agency.

We’re thrilled to announce that the Esri International User Conference 2012 agenda search and planner is now available. In addition to exploring the more than 900-plus sessions in the agenda, you can also use the planner to start building your schedule for the week. Not only can this help you get to all of the presentations that matter most to you, but it’s also a great tool for justifying your trip to San Diego.  Once you’ve built your schedule, you can export it to Outlook or iCal so you can synch it with your mobile device.

While we hope you spend time delving into the full breadth of the agenda, here are a few of the topics that are generating buzz throughout the GIS community:

  • Cloud—Explore a range of sessions aimed at helping you leverage the cloud to publish and share your maps.
  • Mobile—Review tips and strategies for integrating GIS workflows on mobile platforms such as iOS, Android, and Windows Phone.
  • ArcGIS Online—Get an overview of ArcGIS Online for organizations and hear best practices about topics including web mapping applications design, caching, and more.
