When I was invited by xyHt to attend the 2018 Esri User Conference, there was only one requirement I had to interview Jack Dangermond, cofounder (with Laura Dangermond, his wife) of Esri. I was given a 15-minute interview slot on a Wednesday morning, which I hoped would be long enough to get a few big questions in. But Jack wished to continue the conversation, and he graciously pushed the interview to 45 minutes before he had to leave for his next meeting. Although he had been in constant meetings for two days and had spent the day before those hosting the opening plenary, Jack seemed more than a decade younger than his true age. Read the extended interview online, and look for our subsequent dual interviews with Jack Dangermond and Autodesk CEO, Andrew Anagnost, commenting on EsriAutodesk collaborations, in next month's issue.
