The importance of Social Media - Esri Federal User Conference
On January 19 - 21 the Esri Federal User Conference (FedUC) took place in Washington DC. This conference is an invaluable learning opportunity and a gathering of federal geospatial leaders, decision makers, and geographic information system (GIS) professionals.
