Welcome to GeoNet!   We are a community that collaborates, learns and shares together. To help you connect with other members, we started this introduction thread. Think of this as your intro to GeoNet networking and a chance to get to know  each other as we begin our GeoNet journey.   Please introduce yourself to the rest of the community by sharing your answers to the questions in the comments section below. Where do you work and what is your role?  What GIS success have you had this year and what product did you use? (big or small - no win is out of bounds) What is your expertise (GIS related or not), and how can that help the community?   Bonus Round! Post the coordinates to your favorite place on earth. note: this post has been archived, and is available in read only mode.

 It's almost that time of year.   As we get ready for DevSummit in sunny Palm Springs, California, we want to help first-time attendees prepare.   We're looking for former DevSummit attendees to offer tips, advice, and share other helpful knowledge to help newcomers make the most of their experience.   Let us know...   What should first-time attendees do to prepare and have a successful experience? What should they do during and after the event to maximize learning and networking? What strategies work for you? What do you wish you did differently at your first or last DevSummit?    Your tips will be shared here on GeoNet in the https://community.esri.com/community/events/devsummit?sr=search&searchId=b3e9010a-4dcc-4ed3-86b8-f5370abbe2e5&searchIndex=0 space, as well as other pre-DevSummit communications over the next couple months.   Post your tips below and thanks for sharing and spreading the word!  ...
