FEATURED EVENT | Workshops
Consider adding one of these FREE workshops to your conference registration! Advance registration is required as space is limited.
Publishing historic maps as tile cache on ArcGIS Online
This workshop will present the steps to georeference scanned maps, produce a seamless and non-overlapping image via a mosaic dataset, and publish the maps as a
tile cache on ArcGIS Online. Attendees will learn and go through this process using a series of historic (1940's to 1960's) Connecticut Department of Transportation topographic maps that were developed on CT State Plane NAD27. The workshop will be developed
around these maps but users may choose to utilize their own scanned maps using this process.

Getting Started with ArcGIS Pro
This introductory workshop will help GIS professionals get up to speed quickly with ArcGIS Pro terminology and the new, intuitive tools to efficiently complete mapping, editing, geoprocessing, and analysis projects. You will explore the new interface, experience
for yourself the tight integration between 2D and 3D capabilities, and learn how to share your authoritative GIS content more quickly and easily than ever before.
