Each year, ESRI hosts an international conference in San Diego, California, where 12,000 software users gather to learn more about GIS technology and share their ideas and knowledge.
Through the Student Assistantship Program, ESRI sponsors a number of students to participate in the annual ESRI International User Conference. The next conference will take place July 12–16, 2010.
If you are a graduate student or fourth-year undergraduate student who is currently enrolled in an accredited college or university in the United States and who uses GIS software, you may apply for the student assistantship program. ESRI will select up to 60 students to take part in the program, which includes monitoring sessions, registration, staffing, and overall logistics. ESRI also sets aside time for the students to attend sessions. Students receive a full registration package for the conference, hotel accommodations, and a small stipend for meals but pay for their own travel and personal expenses.
