Matthew Sheehan is the founder and principal of WebMapSolutions (http://www.webmapsolutions.com/). He has over 20 years of experience working with both Esri and open source GIS technologies. Much of his current focus is on helping to expand the understanding and use of GIS. Using web technology, he is working with his technical team to build flexible ArcGIS solutions that can be integrated with existing enterprise systems. Disconnected use of GIS in the browser is a key part of this work.
Matthew has a bachelor's degree in geography from University of London and a master's degree in Applied GIS from the University of Utah.

Andy Gup is a developer evangelist with Esri who focuses on building Mobile web and native Android map applications. He works on everything from small websites to enterprise systems, and he is also involved in a number of open source projects. You can check out his blog at http://www.andygup.net or reach him on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/agup.
Antti Kajanus is a Finnish programmer who is very interested in mobile development and focuses on .NET client technologies. For the last 4 years, he has been creating customer solutions that are based on ArcGIS Server and ArcGIS Online. For the first 3 years, he was working as a software architect at Esri, Finland and after that he joined Esri's ArcGIS Runtime for the .NET development team. Currently, he lives in Edinburgh, Scotland.
He is an active presenter and loves to talk about ArcGIS application development and development practices. He's also a familiar face at Esri's Developer Summit conferences. If he's not building awesome GIS technology or applications, you can most likely find him roaming the Scottish mountains.
