Greeting and Acknowledgements

Hello SCARC Community and THANK YOU for attending our fall conference. We all have had a variety of experiences that have motivated us to take our GIS knowledge to a new level since we last met in the fall of 2017. Therein lies the inspiration for the theme – GIS: The Reality of Empowering Where We Are. Our colleagues are taking full advantage of the technology available to us and are inviting the public to become more engaged with their communities through the use of GIS applications. Preparations for natural disasters that have plummeted their way into South Carolina has become less challenging and we have the ability to work better with multiple entities involved in management and recovery after those disasters. The value of communication between agencies and the public is always vital in maintaining the safety and protection of all citizens.

We have a diverse group of presenters who will share their experiences and how they are using various tools and technologies that help make the workflow in their organizations more productive and user friendly. Our goal is as they share those experiences with us that we can obtain information to carry back to where we utilize GIS and make the magic come to life.

A huge thank you to all of our sponsors and exhibitors for coming to the conference this year and presenting and or displaying all of the services they provide to and for the GIS Community. Thank you to SCETV for allowing us to come into their facility and experience in person what so many of us only see through television or hear through radio. Thank you to our caterer, Jason’s Deli for their hospitality and delicious food!

A life-size thank you is extended to the SCARC Board and Conference Committee for working so diligently to prepare an event that would inform our community and allow opportunities to interact and learn from one another. Please know that these individuals volunteer all of their time to ensure that this is a worthwhile gathering and they do so without hesitation. All of their work is greatly appreciated.

Thank you for enabling me to represent SCARC for another year as president. The planning, the conversations, the emails, the interactions and support have meant more to me as a GIS professional than I ever thought possible.

Enjoy the conference and all of those who have joined in to empower the SCARC community!

9:00 am - 9:30 am ArcGIS Enterprise: Part I (The Murray Studio) John Miller (Esri)

ArcGIS Enterprise is the next evolution of the server product line. It includes all the components that you're familiar with: ArcGIS Portal, Server, and more. Join us in this workshop to get an introduction to ArcGIS Enterprise and the many capabilities that have been introduced, such as Portal collaboration, Insights for ArcGIS, ArcGIS Image Server, ArcGIS GeoEvent Server and ArcGIS GeoAnalytics Server.

ESRI and Open Source: A Love Story (Bank of America Boardroom)Bates Rambow (CartoLab)

ESRI is without a doubt the market leader desktop GIS. When it comes to the web, however, open source is king. Open source projects like PostGIS, OpenLayers, Leaflet, Geoserver, TurfJS and more have made geospatial tools more accessible a wider audience of software and web developers and often rival, if not surpass, ESRI’s offerings in terms of capability. Fortunately, the ESRI and open-source worlds are not mutually exclusive. ESRI is a major contributor to or owner of several open-source geospatial projects. This presentation will discuss how GIS developers can leverage ESRI tools like Koop, Terraformer, and others to get the best of both worlds

High Accuracy Data Collection with Esri’s Collector, is MSL possible? (Bank of America Boardroom)Peter Thompson (Duncan Parnell)

The popularity of Esri’s Collector for field data collection continues to grow, in large part because of its ease of use and low cost deployment. On its own, Collector cannot provide high quality and accurate spatial data. With the shift toward Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) GNSS receivers paired with Collector we can now efficiently capture accurate spatial data horizontally, but what about vertically?
