ESRI UC 2000
Coming Soon, ESRI User Conference 2000. I'm sure many of you are gearing up for this year's user conference, expected to bring over 10,000 ESRI users to San Diego during the week of June 26-30. This year's event will feature a large number of pre-conference seminars, education fair, ever popular map gallery, multimedia exhibit, technical sessions, and user group meetings. Fun activities include a golf tournament, tennis tourney, kids camp, awards, and Thursday night party. Once again, the GeoCommunity will be exhibiting and creating a frenzy by giving away a couple of thousand GeoCommunity T-shirts and mouse pads. This year's shirts are guaranteed to be one of the hottest freebies at the show (again!). We'll be meeting a number of you, as well as covering the show and posting commentaries, images, and interviews. We look forward to seeing you there, or at least delivering some updates to you.

• International Environmental Technology Expo 2000
• AEC Systems 2000
• New England GIS 2000
