Så er der 2 to dage igen ... Det er altid med spænding at man kommer herover og afventer at konferencen skal gå igang. Nedenfor er der en som har været herovre dobbelt så mange gange som mig og det lyder ikke som om at den følelse ændrer sig. Det er dog sjovt at høre hvorledes hans første konferencer udspillede sig med personlig modtagelse af Jack! Det er har jeg dog ikke prøvet, men hans tilstedeværelse ved konferencen har altid virket nærværende på trods af dens størrelse. Faktisk var det noget af det som slog mig som en meget positiv ting ved min første konference i 2001. Mange mennesker, men kort vej til den nærmeste ESRI ansatte på alle niveauer. ESRIs succes hviler helt sikkert tungt på Jacks skuldre og det er hans skyld at ESRI fremstår som et hjertevarmt firma istedet for en stor kommerciel kolos
Only 2 days to go ... It is always with great anticipation that you come over here and awaits the beginining of the conference. Below is a quote from someone who have been here twice as many times as I have and apparently the feeling do not change no matter the number of times you get here. It is great fun to hear about how past conferences was held and how Jack personally welcomed everyone! I haven't had that honor but it is however that personal feeling I got at my first conference in 2001. There are a lot of people at the conference but everywhere there is not far to the nearest ESRI employee at any level. You even see Jack walk aroound among us in the crowd. I believe that the success thatESRI have had over the years is largely due to Mr. Jack himself and the way he is. ESRI was and still is filled with a warm heartedness you won't find anywhere else in companies that size.

Quote from af veteran:
This year will mark my tenth straight year at ESRI/UC, so it’s time for some reflection. The show has more than doubled in size from my first trip, but has always been the largest geospatial-centric event throughout this time frame. The news from the event has always been much anticipated, and there are hints of a few surprises this year.
From my very first exposure, the visibility and sincerity of Jack Dangermond has been a highlight. In those early years, I recall being greeted by Jack personally at the entrance to the ESRI pool party at the Marriott. There he was, without the typical CEO entourage, welcoming everyone and encouraging us all to have a good time. While the event was smaller then, it still stands out as one of the more personal touches by an executive that I’ve ever witnessed.
It’s that sincerity, and customer-centric vibe, that has always been front and center at this event. The message is heavily on the customer, and what the customer is doing with the technology. ESRI is a master at getting the word out about their customers, whether it’s the annual conference, regional and focused conferences, the tabloid ArcNews, the magazine ArcUser, all the books from ESRI Press. The message is always clear that GIS has an impact.
I’m looking forward to this year’s event for many reasons. It’s the first year that I’ll be there with V1. With our somewhat smaller set of interests, the always overwhelming event will be somewhat more manageable. With that said, I’m booked solid and looking forward to the many interviews, meetings and sessions on the schedule. There’s a nice program on climate change, a good focus on conservation, and the vendor showcase always turns up some surprises.
We’re having record heat in Denver now, with the temp hitting 104 degrees yesterday. It’s going to be nice to enjoy the temperate mid-70s climate of San Diego, surrounded by hordes of like-minded professionals for the event that sets the tone for the geospatial industry.
