M3.a Introduction to the Utility Network Management Extension. Remi Myers

Half day workshop

The Utility Network (UN) platform is a next generation operational management tool designed to model infrastructure

for electric, gas, water and telecommunication networks. It can model all aspects of utility systems with operational and

structural components configured to maximize performance. The Utility Network is designed off a services-based

architecture which allows the collaboration of operational infrastructure across all of your business units. This half-day

workshop will be designed to provide the audience with an overview of the UN design, capabilities and use cases for

municipalities all the way to large operational utility companies. Discussions will include a high-level briefing of

requirements for full integration across all ArcGIS platforms, modeling concepts and representations. Demonstrations of

best management practices for data quality and validation will be conducted to illustrate support best practices for GIS

teams. Utility use cases will be conducted to demonstrate operational capabilities, emergency response modeling and

work plan management across electric, gas and water networks. Finally, demonstrations of mobile and web applications

will be shown to illustrate the adaptive nature of the Network Utility model for municipalities and utility organizations.

M3.b Water Resource Management and Data Analysis Rami Naber & Denise Haugen

Half day workshop

While utilities use sophisticated systems to source, treat and supply clean water to their customers, they don’t always have good visibility of the water network and asset performance. If water utilities are forced to operate in reactive mode due to lack of visibility, then they must rely on inefficient processes when responding to asset failure and service outages. The result can be slower response times, higher repair and liability costs, and subpar customer service. With ageing infrastructure problems, increased asset failure rates on water networks and regulatory requirements, utilities are looking for solutions that enable them to move to a proactive asset monitoring and management model. Provide better visibility to the water network performance, authoritative data for better decision making, and regulatory compliance. In this Workshop – you will learn how Trimble Telog wireless sensors and the Internet of Things (IoT) combined with Trimble Unity GIS-centric cloud and mobile software, enable real-time smart water management solutions for water, wastewater, stormwater and water resource monitoring and reporting. The workshop will cover the technical components of how the solutions work, highlighting the benefits of integrating GIS and IoT monitoring for data analysis, and showcasing real customer success stories. This is a half day workshop and is recommended for any GIS professionals that are involved in Water Resource

Management and water data analysis.

Workshop printed materials will be made available to attendees at no cost Certification of Workshop completion can be provided

M4.a Introduction to Insights for ArcGIS Scott Moore

Half day workshop – Hands on

Insights for ArcGIS is a web-based, data analytics workbench where you can explore spatial and non-spatial data. Answer

questions you didn’t know to ask. And, quickly deliver powerful results. Use maps charts and tables to visualize and tell

your story like never before. Advanced algorithmic spatial analysis is as simple as drag-and-drop. Created the perfect

process to analyze a dataset? Insights for ArcGIS intelligently records your analysis workflow so you and others can run it

again to solve other problems. Easily share your analysis so others can iterate further, or use it to make better decisions.

Esri will provide laptops for participants to use.

M4.b Getting Started with the ArcGIS API for Python Scott Moore

Half day workshop – Hands on

ArcGIS API for Python is a new Python library for working with maps and geospatial data, powered by web GIS. It provides simple and efficient tools for sophisticated vector and raster analysis, geocoding, map making, routing and directions, as well as for organizing and managing a GIS with users, groups and information items. In addition to working with your own data, the library enables access to ready to use maps and curated geographic data from Esri and other authoritative sources. It also integrates well with the scientific Python ecosystem and includes rich support for Pandas and Jupyter notebook. This hands on session will cover how analysts and data scientists can use the ArcGIS platform in combination with data

science libraries from Python for mapping, visualization and geospatial data analysis. In addition, we will cover how

ArcGIS administrators can use this library to automate common functions within their web GIS.

Intended Audience: Students should have some familiarity with Python scripting.

TUESDAY

T1 Working with Lidar data Abby Gleason, TJ Abbenhaus, Caileigh Shoot, Michael Umansky

Full day workshop

Lidar, or light detection and ranging, provides a high resolution elevation dataset that offers exceptional value to

hazards mapping, habitat management, forestry, urban growth and change, and utilities. With an active lidar program at

the state level, over 5,000 square miles of new lidar data has been collected over the past two years with another

8,000+ square miles to be added by 2019. While this data has a wealth of information, working with and managing these

datasets can be challenging – especially when it comes to utilizing lidar’s original and most informative format, the point

cloud. This workshop will explore the state’s newest lidar data collected in 2016 and 2017, take a look at potential

applications, and how to find and download data. The workshop will also introduce three software programs – Esri’s

ArcPro, Fusion, and Quick Terrain Modeler - that can be used to manage, analyze, and derive key lidar products to make

lidar data and information accessible to lidar novices and advanced users alike.

Learning objectives:

• What is lidar

• Overview of general applications

• How to access the data through DNR

• Software tools to use with the data (1.5 hours each)

o Esri

o Fusion, and other free software

o Quick Terrain Modeler

Intended Audience: Anyone who is currently working with lidar data, or those who would like to learn about lidar data

and its applications.

T3.a Practical Overview of Geospatial R Jason Taylor & Caileigh Shoot

Half day workshop

R is at the forefront of reproducible research. With R Markdown you can share your work with clients and colleagues for

quality control or transparency. It’s all open source, which means anyone can check your work or collaborate with you

on a given analysis without having to pay for licensing. It has multiple tools and packages for data visualization, making

it easy to test out new ideas and analyses. It also has one of the biggest package repositories for data analysis and

statistics. In this workshop we will introduce students to R and its capabilities with both tabular and spatial data. Our

goal is to cover the basics of the R language using data manipulation examples, show how to document work, then dive

into geospatial analysis for both raster and vector data structures. We will work in R Markdown, a way of documenting

your methods and code in a file that is read and interpreted by R and outputs a document that can be reviewed by

others. These markdown files will act both as teaching materials and as a reference that students can use after the

workshop. For the geospatial component, we will teach students about the capabilities of the sp, sf, and raster libraries.

We will also cover some of the basics of functional programming and parallel processing along the way.

Intended Audience: This course is for students who are familiar with geospatial analysis (this can be in working with

ArcMap or QGIS, or even Python) and possess beginner to intermediate programming skills for at least one language.

We would like attendees to know basic data structures (lists, arrays, and matrices), know basic conditional and looping

constructs (if/else, for, while), and have a grasp on the purpose of functions when writing code. We also expect

attendees to be familiar with common geospatial vector and raster operations.

Learning Objectives We will cover:

Working with R Studio

R Markdown

Using R’s base data structures: vectors, lists, matrices, data.frames

Basic plotting

Functional programming concepts

The *apply (apply, lapply, sapply, mapply) family for functional programming

magrittr pipes

sp vs sf libraries (we will focus on sf)

The raster library

The parallel library for parallel processing

. . . and if we have time. . .

tidyr

data.table

We will implement these tools to perform a geospatial analysis using R Markdown.

T3.b ArcGIS Pro For ArcMap Users Stefan Freelan

This workshop will present the pros and cons of transitioning from ArcMap to ArcGIS Pro. Aimed at current ArcGIS

Desktop (ArcMap) users, the workshop will compare and contrast ArcMap and ArcGIS Pro.

This workshop will present the pros and cons of transitioning from ArcMap to ArcGIS Pro. Aimed at current ArcGIS

Desktop (ArcMap) users, the workshop will compare and contrast ArcMap and ArcGIS Pro in terms of:

● Projects:

○ .mxd files vs. .aprx files

● Data management:

○ ArcCatalog vs. Catalog View

○ Catalog Window vs. Catalog Pane

● User interface:

○ Toolbars / Windows / Views vs. Ribbon / Tabs / Panes

○ Data View / Layout View vs. Maps / Layouts

● Geoprocessing:

○ ArcToolbox vs. Geoprocessing Pane

○ ModelBuilder Window vs. ModelBuilder Pane

○ Results Window vs. Geoprocessing History

● Cartography:

○ Layout View vs. Layouts

○ Data Frames vs. Maps

In addition, we will go over the basic ArcGIS Pro operations, such as:

● Importing existing ArcMap .mxd files into Pro

● Default geodatabase, toolbox and project file (.aprx)

● Licensing and extensions

● Folder connections

● Symbology

● Editing

● Tables (adding fields / calculating values)

And we’ll look at some of the new possibilities in terms of:

● Multiple layouts

● Layout elements / properties

● Tasks

● Exporting packages (maps, layers, projects, geoprocessing…)

● Data driven pages

And we’ll have a brief discussion / look at:

● 3D mapping (the majority of this workshop will be 2D)

● Python

● Interface with ArcGIS Online

Throughout the workshop new concepts and functionality will be highlighted, as well as things that you may have been

taking for granted that are no longer possible (with some workaround options)… In other words, we’ll cover both the

reasons why you might want to make the switch to Pro and some of the reasons why you might not (yet). With an eye to

the future, this will help you determine if and when it makes sense to make (or begin) the transition to Pro and to help

you get started whenever you choose to do so. Participants are welcome to bring a laptop with ArcGIS Pro installed (and

a license checked out so it can be used offline) but this is not necessary. This workshop will consist of examples,

demonstrations and discussion along with plenty of questions and answers. No ArcGIS Pro experience is necessary but

having looked at it a little is helpful.

Audience: GIS users who have been using ArcGIS Desktop (ArcMap, ArcCatalog) and who are considering, or ready to

migrate to ArcGIS Pro.
