It was a blast connecting and collaborating with you at DevSummit 2017! To wrap up our daily updates, here's the fourth and final recap.  After an intense and well contested tournament during the Thursday night party, the Sitting Ducks, for the second straight year, reigned supreme as the defending DevSummit dodgeball champions. Congrats to the Sitting Ducks and thanks to all the other teams who competed. You put on a fine show!  During the Friday closing session, a collection of fun and interesting weekly stats and facts were shared. Amazing what can be produced in just 6 days. And we're still wondering what sorghum is.  Then the Esri development team sat down to answer questions that were submitted through social media and onsite videos during the week. The questions covered topics ranging from specific feature enhancements and the ArcGIS platform roadmap to learning how the Esri Dev team works and what inspires them to keep growing, learning and developing their craft.  If you missed any of the other updates, you can check them out below including the YouTube video playlist from the plenary and keynote presentation.     https://community.esri.com/groups/devsummit/blog/2017/03/08/devsummit-2017-day-two-updates?sr=search&searchId=d54edd4f-f3ef-482e-be5c-10010ae65934&searchIndex=0‌ https://community.esri.com/groups/devsummit/blog/2017/03/10/devsummit-2017-day-three-updates?sr=search&searchId=11be77b2-ccf0-4ff3-b725-88fbb111140d&searchIndex=0‌ 12th Annual Developer Summit Welcome & Event Overview - YouTube  So much happened and we couldn't get to it all, so we invite you to continue the discussion and share what you learned in the https://community.esri.com/community/events/devsummit?sr=search&searchId=d506669b-bc34-4be3-99db-40e44fdb3dd5&searchIndex=1 group.
