Keynote by John Nelson, Esri

John Nelson is a map maker, software experience designer, and writer at Esri creating fringe geographic data, curious web experiences, marginally-educational blogs, and debatably-instructional videos. He works in a small woodshed in Michigan and relishes the opportunity to chat with other map folks. If he didn't live in the Midwest he's definitely live in the PNW.
