ESRI Technical Event

Following the success of the ESRI Technical Event held at the University of Leeds in 2008, Eduserv and ESRI have arranged a second meeting, to be held at the University of Birmingham on September 15th. The meeting is intended to bring together people from universities who are either using ArcGIS or other ESRI software or providing and supporting ESRI software in their institutions.

In addition to an overview of the new facilities in the latest release of ArcGIS, 9.3.1, other topics include a visit to Birmingham University's 3-D Visualisation Suite, a discussion of how to get usage data out of the ArcGIS license management system and an introduction to ArcGIS in virtualised or server environments. There is also provision for networking with colleagues from other institutions and to meet staff from ESRI UK.

This is a completely free event which includes lunch.
