Each year at the User Conference, hundreds of users showcase their work in our Map Gallery. A submission to the Map Gallery is a hard-copy cartographic product that may include more than one actual map. The spirit of the Map Gallery is to display the exhibitor's GIS accomplishments and to demonstrate how people are using ESRI's software to understand, manage, and better our world. Exhibitors may choose to compete for awards in several categories including cartographic design, analysis, and education. Winners receive recognition at the closing session on Friday and on the ESRI Web site.
All entrants receive a certificate acknowledging their participation in the event.
In addition, many of the exhibits displayed at the conference are selected for publication in the annual ESRI Map Book. All other maps left with ESRI become part of ESRI's permanent collection at the Library of Congress. Don't miss the Map Gallery and Evening Reception on Monday night.
