the 2010 Esri USer Conference Map

by

Did you know that Esri has an official ESRIUC conference map/webmap? Jump to http://uc2010.esri.com/map/ and check it this fine web service. the map is designed to help attendees find their way around the huge, San Diego convention center (SDCC). Pan around the venue on the map, toggle on/off levels and query or search for rooms by name, the map will return possible hits and show your room on the map with a pin.. very handy! Indeed every conference should have this as a resource… I wonder if there’s an iPhone friendly service that I can pull up on the new ArcGIS iPhone app?

A foursquare Social Media Tip for Businesses and Users at the ESRIUC

by

Chances are good that many people will be using foursquare while at the ESRIUC this year. Now, hopefully people won’t checkin to every session room they hit in the SDCC, however, the occasional checkin from a cool venue will be interesting and helpful to others. If you hit a great party, like say the Federal reception or maybe an awesome vendor party, be sure to checkin and share some info. Esri has some plans for foursquare use at the UC (See HERE for more) and I’ve also noticed a few tips on foursquare placed by the ESRIUC team. Actually, team Esri has placed foursquare tips on ALL the venues offering attendees a discount on lunch on Monday… good job! See more about Esri use of foursquare

Speaking of that, if you’re planning an event be sure to leave a tip at that venue to help people that are checking in. For example, on Sunday night we’re having a Tweet-Up at Dick’s. So, I’ve left a handy tip on the Dick’s last resort venue page (See http://foursquare.com/venue/9450) on foursquare that describes briefly how people can win a prize simply by checking in and giving me a mention! You might consider something similar! Make sure you checkin from Dick’s when there and maybe we can get a SWARM going!
