Developer Summit brings new capabilities to developers who plan to use the ESRI software development platform to build, customize, and deploy spatially enabled applications. The three and one-half day conference, held in Palm Springs, California Palm Springs is a famed Riverside County, California desert resort city, approximately 110 miles (177 km) east of Los Angeles and 140 miles (225 km) northeast of San Diego.

The ESRI Developer Summit is targeted to developers and software architects interested in the ESRI developer platform. Attendees do not need to be ESRI software users to benefit. The featured keynote speaker this year will be Mark Driver, vice president and research director at Gartner Research. He will speak about the strengths and weaknesses of the Java and .NET environments. He will also discuss the trade-offs that should be considered in shaping your technical architecture. Technical sessions will include content on developing and deploying server GIS, custom mobile solutions, enterprise integration, core GIS concepts, customizing and extending ArcGIS Desktop, best practices, and a panel discussion with ESRI software architects. Tech Talks will follow each session, giving developers a chance to meet and interact with the development teams in an informal environment in the community center.
