The UNIGIS International Asscociation is at the annual ESRI User Conference. This year more than 15,000 GI professionals from around the world turn San Diego to a global GIS hotspot. An excellent opportunity not just to learn about new features of ArcGIS software and ESRI's 'road ahead' but also to build upon and expand UNIGIS' wide name recognition, to meet prospective students and to network with a wide range of GI-related interest groups and organisations.
