Esri Dev Meet Up - Pumping it up in Portland

In coordination with the Northwest GIS Users' Group (http://www.nwgis.org/) and GIS-Pro: URISA's Annual Conference for GIS Professionals (http://www.urisa.org/gispro2012), we will be hosting an Esri Dev Meet Up on Tuesday, October 2nd. Food and beverages will be provided at the meet up.

The Esri Dev Meet Up is a social gathering for developers to discuss geospatial technologies, complementary third-party tools, and development platforms (e.g., Silverlight, Java, Flex, JavaScript) that are supported by Esri. Presentations run the gamut of our community: from Web development to mobile location development for iOS, Android and Windows Phone 7 to automating tasks with Python.

Developers of all levels of expertise are welcome, from seasoned GIS professionals to those new to geospatial development.

At these meet ups, you can:

Demonstrate your application or framework.
Present an interesting concept or idea.
Share your experiences.
Connect with other developers.
