Call to action
Presentations
"80% of data is geographic." While the accuracy of this claim may be debatable, there is no doubt that the utility and impact of GIS knows few bounds. Whatever your use case may be, and whether you are a student or experienced professional, we are interested in hearing from you. Each year, we accept a range of topics broadly related to GIS. If you need a suggestion or idea for your presentation, here are some of the up-voted topics from our recent conference interest survey (but please do not feel limited to this list):
Topic Ideas
- ArcGIS Pro
- ArcGIS Enterprise / Portal
- Arcade
- Python / Development
- Analysis / Modeling
- Utilities
- Web GIS
- Mobile Apps and Dashboards
- There has also been a vocalized interest in work related to drones and imagery, AI, big data, governance, and open source GIS. The sky's the limit!
Why Present?
