GeoDev Meetup - Sacramento, CA

An Esri GeoDev Meetup is taking place in Sacramento on October 27th, where food and beverages will be provided! (Come a lil' hungry, why don't ya?)

This event is a social gathering for developers to discuss the latest in mapping, geo technology, geo services, web and mobile mapping apps, app design, cloud solutions, map data or anything else related to solving real-world "geo" problems.
