Morning 8:30 AM – 11:30 AM

Title: ArcGIS Insights Hands-On Half Day Workshop – Lauren Voelker – Esri

Description: Visualization using interactive graphs, charts, and maps makes business intelligence tools powerful and robust applications to understand their patterns. This workshop will walk through data exploration, visualization, and analysis capabilities using ESRI ArcGIS Insights, a powerful spatial BI tool within the context of real analysis. Learn how to dig deeper into your data to find inconsistencies and anomalies and understand the distributions, patterns, and relationships of important variables that contribute to value within your jurisdiction. This workshop will be interactive, and participants will be using ESRI ArcGIS Insights to create analysis with sample data.

The following topics will be discussed:

  • Overview of ESRI Insights
  • Adding data and creating analysis (Data types, creating cards, joining data, analysis capabilities)
  • Data exploration, manipulation, and transformation
  • Spatial and Statistical Analysis
  • Introduction to the R and Python Kernel to extend the analysis
  • Reporting and Collaboration

  • Level: Intermediate
  • Pre-requisites: A basic working knowledge of ArcGIS Pro
  • Intended Audience: GIS practitioners; anybody interested in geospatial data
  • Modality: Lecture, demonstration with exercises
  • Required software/hardware:Optional

Description: This workshop will focus on the following aspects of lidar datasets and products:

  • 1- Lidar fundamentals
  • 2- The lidar data model
  • 3- Lidar data structure
  • 4- Procuring lidar data
  • 5- Commercial and “open source” software
  • 6- Ingesting data into ArcGIS Pro
  • 7- Data exploration and visualization
  • 8- Extraction of ground, buildings, and vegetation
  • 9- Creating digital models (elevation, surface, height)
  • 10- Exploring elevation change (topographic, land cover) with lidar data
  • 11- Point clouds from services
  • 12- Photogrammetric point clouds and the lidar data model
  • 13- A brief look at deep learning with lidar

Title: Building a Field Data Collection app and mapping the results  – Instructor: Vincent A. DiNoto, Jr., GISP, GeoEdC

Description Individuals will learn how to construct a data collection application that can be used on a personal cellphone. The field data collection application will be built using the Esri Survey123 web app. Participants will collect data outside of the conference. The data collected will include infrastructure items, such as signs and light standards. After the data is collected, the individuals will discover how to build a web map and integrate the web map into a dashboard with serial and pie charts. All components can be completed in a web browser (Google Chrome preferred), and data collected with a smart device (Android or Apple) that has a GNSS (GPS) location service. Participants are welcome to bring a laptop, but it is not required. Bring a laptop/chrome book to follow with the instructor.

 

Afternoon 1:00 PM – 4:00 PM

Title: ArcGIS Experience Builder: “A new way of building web apps…”- Chase Fisher – Esri

Description: “ArcGIS Experience Builder empowers you to transform your data into web apps and web pages without coding. Flexibility, integration, and mobile optimization are keys that set it apart from alternatives. Learn the building blocks of Experience Builder, including pages, windows, widgets, data sources, layouts, and themes, as well as how they work together seamlessly, then adapt the content on different screen sizes, integrate with ArcGIS Survey123 and other apps to streamline processes, and interact with your 2D and 3D data for immersive experiences.”

Title: Geospatial Certification – for Professionals and for Educators – Ms. Ann Johnson, GISP

Description: Certification can provide documentation of expertise needed for career pathways.  GISCI has provided professionals in geospatial technology the ability to document their expertise.  Educators do not usually have the qualifications needed to become a GISP through the GISCI.  A new Geospatial Educator Certification program can provide that documentation.  This presentation will briefly review what is needed to become a GISCI GISP, including topics for the GISP Exam, and compare it to the certification pathway for educators through the GeoTech Center.

Title: Creating Python Scripts in ArcGIS Pro in Notebooks – Vincent A. DiNoto, Jr., GISP, GeoEdC

Description: In this lecture-demonstration workshop, participants will explore how to create Python scripts within ArcGIS Pro using Jupyter Notebooks. Scripts will be explored using arcpy from very simple to relatively complex. Attendees are welcome to bring laptop computers with ArcGIS Pro installed and follow the demonstrations shown. Handouts and story maps will be available to continue the learning process following the workshop.
