With 2011, we introduced the word "GDi Forum" instead of traditional "GD Users Conference (GDUC)" – to better communicate the broader intention and context of the event – to be a real forum, not just gathering of our proud existing users, but also of our new contacts, e.g. business and technical people interested in possibilities of applying technologies, and also a meeting place with our increasing number of industry specialized business partners, both from the region, but also internationally.

At this 2011 Forum, both our international guests, as well as our core Central and Southeast Europe users proud of their successes achieved in applying exciting high-technologies such as the geographical information systems, telecom value added services and the new generation operation support systems shall be able to learn, gather information or present and share experience in applying technology; whether it is a highly analytical single user modeling and engineering or scientifice solution, or a governmental departmental system, or a complete business enterprise solution with service oriented architecture; are more and more - the private, governmental or public cloud service solution.

We believe that this year's GDi Forum 2011 and the Esri Hungary User Conference shall be one of Europe's largest specialized information management and information knowledge exchange forums.

The forum enables users to share past achievements and future visions for e-government at national, regional and local levels, telecommunications, environmental protection and natural resources management, utilities and energy management, transportation and logistics optimization, homeland security,emergency, intelligence and defense management and commercial industry development.
