“Fear No Career” day at Paris, Arkansas High School
Our group president, Tina Thompson, attended the 2011 ESRI International User Conference July 11-15 in San Diego, CA. After a week packed full of Seminars, plenary sessions, workshops, fairs, summits and meetings ESRI treated the attendees with an exclusive celebration in San Diego’s iconic Balboa Park. The attendees were able to enjoy live music, performances, world-class exhibits and cuisine from around the world. Tina chose the Prado Restaurant which offered traditional Spanish cuisine which offered her a once in a lifetime opportunity….. She not only did she get to take photos of Jack Dangermond, president of ESRI, but she was also able to have her photo taken with Jack since Spanish cuisine was also his choice for the evening. http://www.esri.com/events/user-conference/agenda/night-at-the-park.html
Please send any thoughts or ideas for GIS Day 2011
