Upcoming NEARC Community Event - Experience Builder

Wednesday, March 8th from 12:00pm - 1:30pm

The Esri Team is back to kickoff the 2023 Community Event Esri Workshop Series! This lunch and learn session will be all about Experience Builder. NEARC has heard your feedback and so this event will also include user presentations to showcase how Experience Builder has been put into practice. 

We are looking for a few presenters who would like to give brief (5 min) talk on their own use of Experience Builder for this workshop. Are you interested? We want to hear from you! 

Please submit your experience builder work via the NEARC Community Event Interest Form.

ArcGIS Experience Builder can help you to transform your data and maps into compelling web apps without writing a single line of code. Build apps with, or without, a map, and display them on a laptop, mobile device, or web site. Perform a drag-and-drop operation to choose the tools you need from a rich set of widgets, without any coding. In the workshop, you will learn how to use Experience Builder via presentations and demos. 

Registration is required: Experience Builder Registration
