The field of aerial imagery has exploded in the last two decades. Advancements in technology and capture methodology have made aerial images better, cheaper, and more accessible to a wide range of users. Today aerial imagery is used in a number of diverse sectors including engineering, construction, transportation, energy, state and local governments and many more. In this presentation we will provide an overview of the aerial imagery Industry, insights into photogrammetry derived data, and multidimensional data applications, all while showing how Nearmap has been able to adapt and evolve with these changes and improvements.

Governmental transparency provides information to citizens about operations and spending and is key to promote public accountability. As capital improvement projects are a highly visible indication of government spending, it can be effective to provide detailed information about these projects to the public to promote transparency. The City of Concord, CA has recognized the benefits of providing detailed spatial and tabular information to the public regarding capital improvement projects happening in the City. In this presentation, Avineon will demonstrate how this was accomplished using a custom Esri ArcGIS StoryMaps Shortlist app template to serve as a public-facing viewer and a custom Esri ArcGIS Web AppBuilder (Developer Edition) app used to administer its content.

This workshop will walk participants through the Utility Network migration process using sanitary sewer data. The focus will be on four primary stages, which include planning (getting to know the data dictionary and understanding the Utility Network structure), migration (data loading tools and asset packages), creation (staging the Utility Network and applying the asset package), and implementation (publishing the Utility Network and working with Utility Network tools). This is intended to be a basic introduction.

The State of Michigan is developing an updated hydrographic data catalog based on the 3DEP LiDAR that now covers the state. Through this collaborative project that involves many stakeholders, the GIS hydrography data will be more complete an accurate.
Do you ever find yourself frustrated with the limitations of Survey123’s limited calculation abilities? What if you could distill complicated formulas into JavaScript and insert that into your form? What if you could get live weather data, or even ArcGIS Online Data in your form? All of this, and more, is possible with Survey123. A basic understanding of Survey123 and JavaScript is helpful but not required.

Clerks, DPW/Engineers, Public Safety, Planners, Parks and Recreation among others.
ArcGIS StoryMap Collections offer a simple browser-based solution for our project workflows that involve multiple processes across ArcGIS Dashboard, Survey123, and Experience Builder and allow us to create a one-stop-shop. This new system streamlines previously clunky and confusing methods that required the use of multiple browser tabs and desktop software now into one comprehensive location. Another strength of this solution is that it can be used by any staff, regardless of GIS expertise. This presentation will go into how we are using this framework in several projects across EGLE, including in our Drinking Water and Environmental Health Division to track and evaluate public drinking water concerns and in our Remediation and Redevelopment Division to submit and display our environmental remediation projects. We will discuss how we are utilizing several powerful Esri tools within the Collections as well as how we harness the power of Survey123 webhooks to conditionally send customized alerts to staff. Our solution has greatly increased usability and decreased technical difficulties, and consequently has made both our project staff and GIS teams more efficient and effective.
The story of how an idea for a public facing tree inventory map evolved from a simple web map to integrating Survey 123, FME, Square and an email server into a robust and not so out of the box solution.

The State of Michigan manages a successful aerial imagery program called MiSAIL. The imagery and lidar collected is available to all State agencies and State Partners. State Partners include, but are not limited to, local, federal, and tribal governments. New services have been added as a result of the complex request for proposals that the team finished in 2020. This presentation will describe the details of the State's imagery and lidar services.
We present an innovative approach to cultural heritage management and preservation through the development of unique geodatabase that incorporates historical and cultural features as a basis for the development of predictive model for decision making.
LiDAR (Light Detection And Ranging) has fundamentally changed how we view and interpret the landscape and has revolutionized geological mapping. Often subtle features can be seen in the LiDAR topography data that are not visible on aerial photography, topographic maps, or digital elevation models (DEMs). This presentation will show the widely varying uses of LiDAR for geological, environmental, and hydrological applications across Michigan.
With ESRI Field Maps replacing all ESRI Collector and Collector Classic, we will be discussing what ESRI Field Maps is, as well as updates available and what’s coming. We will also be discussing the pros and cons of dedicated GNSS units, showing how ESRI Field Maps handles important information such as correction and other metadata associated with a data collection using a Trimble Catalyst Device, and how to make sure ArcGIS Collector is collecting the GNSS metadata.
SEMCOG uses PostGIS and PostgreSQL to store and update data that we use in our Regional Development Forecast. GISquirrel is an ArcMap addin that allows you to view and edit data that is stored in PostgreSQL and has become a critical tool in our workflow.
Dominion Energy is a large energy company with a well-developed, Esri-based GIS. To meet regulatory requirements, Dominion developed a Survey123 solution for field asset inspections using a Cloud-hosted snapshot its asset data store. Following deployment, Dominion migrated its asset data store to the Utility Network. This resulted in two competing data stores (one developed through workorder-based data entry and the other on field validation) using different models. This presentation describes Avineon’s approach towards reintegrating these.

The Straits of Mackinac is one of the most historic places in Michigan. One of the ways Mackinac State Historic Parks has learned more about the everyday lives of the people there is through archaeological excavation. Colonial Michilimackinac, in Mackinaw City, is the site of one of the longest archaeological excavations in North America. Numerous smaller scale excavations have been carried out on Mackinac Island as well. In this keynote, MSHP Curator of Archaeology Lynn Evans will present an overview of several of these projects.

Geographic Information Systems are essential tools for emergency management. Through mobile applications, dashboards, and imagery, GIS provides data to emergency managers for informed decision making. The Michigan State Police Emergency Management Homeland Security Division has developed a statewide network, using ArcGIS Online, to provide GIS tools for emergency managers. One hundred emergency managers across the state have free access relevant applications available for monitoring and managing emergencies. This network, developed using the ArcGIS Online platform allows data and applications to flow back and forth from federal, state, and local emergency managers.
Sure, you could make a map the way the software intends, or you could foster a blatant disregard for convention and make the maps you want by misusing tools and stringing together hacks. Here are some ways to use ArcGIS (mostly Pro) to do that. We’ll also discuss helpful ways of transitioning from out old pal ArcMap.
