2016年伊始，Esri全球開發者峯會將於3月8日在著名的度假勝地棕桐泉（Palm Spring）舉辦。Esri全球開發者峯會每年都會受到GIS開發者和愛好者的高度關注，會議現場一度彙集了來自全球的數千名GIS開發者。這裏有GIS妙想，這裏有技術達人，這裏還有來自各界的豐富成果共享，Esri帶領參會者直擊GIS界最前沿的思想，享受精神和視覺上的雙重盛宴。
今年的美國開發者大會，Esri爲用戶精心準備了250場技術講座，並且所有這些講座都會有錄屏，會議結束後一段時間內（預計在4月中旬）將在E380 Esri Video website對公衆免費開放，如此厚禮，國內的GIS開發者們千萬不要錯過！
