Maximize Imagery Workflows with ArcGIS Ryan Richardson, Esri and TJ Abbenhaus, Esri $100 Half Day Join Esri for a workshop using the latest in advanced tools for imagery management, visualization, analysis and sharing. In this workshop you will learn about the ArcGIS solutions including ArcGIS Reality, Oriented Imagery, ArcGIS Image for ArcGIS Online, and ArcGIS Enterprise. We will discuss how to use ArcGIS Pro to create Mosaic datasets and publish collections of data using ArcGIS Image for ArcGIS Online (SaaS) and ArcGIS Image Server. Participants in this workshop will also get hands on experience configuring various web applications that leverage these imagery services. We will also explore how to take imagery from various sensors, from smartphones, to UAV’s, to fixed wing aerial imagery, to satellites and use it in ArcGIS. Ryan Richardson, Esri and TJ Abbenhaus, Esri $100 Half Day ArcGIS Experience Builder is a highly configurable and customizable solution that allows users to share their web apps online without writing any code. In this workshop you will gain insights on how to create an immersive web experience using Experience Builder’s interactive widgets, dynamic themes, media, and map integration. Learn what is new in ArcGIS Experience Builder and how to modernize and optimize your WebApp Builder apps to be viewed on any device. Leveraging pre-built templates and drag and drop functionality Experience Builder will bring your maps and apps together into one unified destination. Washington Government GIS Leaders Workshop Stephen Beimborn, City of Seattle; Christina Chelf, City of Tacoma; Matt Collins, City of Wenatchee $100 Full Day Gathering of GIS Leaders from around Washington State to learn from each other, share ideas and develop skills related to leading GIS groups. Past sessions have included such topics as strategies for developing staff, forming relationships with customers and peer agencies, putting together training programs, securing funding, assigning roles, prioritizing work, conducting projects, working collaboratively with the IT Department (or working from within the IT Department), deciding when to hire consultants, and other common management topics.

This workshop is designed to help those with less than 5 years experience advance their careers, find jobs and meet others in their field. Expect speed networking, group discussions, panel talks, and an optional happy hour! SQL Spatial: An introduction to using the views and spatial functions in SQL Server to automate and simplify your services and reports Grant Herbert - GISP, Principal GIS Analyst with FLO Analytics $100 Half Day – Afternoon This workshop focuses on introducing you to the possibilities of using spatial SQL and views to expand your options working with GIS data. Although this workshop will use SQL Server hosted geodatabases as the example, the techniques are generally applicable to non geodatabases, PostgreSQL/PostGIS, etc. Views and spatial functions can be used to increase efficiency, reduce data duplication and provide custom data sources for map services, dashboards and reports. A well crafted query can even replace a modelbuilder or Python process! If you are familiar with ArcGIS Pro Query Layers then you already know some of the possibilities. The workshop is aimed for those with some experience and knowledge of SQL, but will briefly cover some of the basics for beginners. The following topics will be covered:
