IGIS worked with UCANR Advisors Mike Jones, Rick Satomi, and Yana Valachovic to conduct two 2-day training workshops in Northern California the week of March 18th-23rd. These workshops were held in Santa Rosa, CA and Arcata, CA. and they were well attended by approximately 20 participants at each location. The intent of these workshops were to bring the participants up to speed on the latest GIS software (ArcGIS Pro, and ArcGIS Online), best practices in cartography, managing data, and spatial analysis, and mobile data collection (ArcGIS Collector, ArcGIS Survey 123, and Azenva).
IGIS will conduct these workshops two more times in the coming months. These workshops will be held at the following locations and dates:
- Lake Tahoe Community College, April 25 – 26
- Shasta College, May 10 – 11

Have you ever wished you had your own geoportal like ArcGIS Online within your own ArcGIS Online Organization, now you can with Esri Arcgis Hub. ArcGIS Hub and the Sites it can create will allow you to do just that. Now within UCANR we can create sub sites within our organization account. We have the ability to create sub sites for other groups in UCANR like Integrated Pest Management (IPM), 4H, Master Gardeners, to name but a few. I look forward to rolling out these Sites to other groups and team within UCANR.

Day 1 at the User Conference was dominated by the Plenary talks of ESRI Owner Jack Dangermond and others. The morning plenary by Mr. Dangermond and other ESRI Staff is where they highlight the newest technology that we now have access to from ESRI. In the past I have heard of the User Conference as the “Show” and it continues to live up to that name. This year they highlighted the new machine learning and AI tools that have been integrated into ArcGIS and the new capabilities of ArcGIS Online, ArcGIS Portal, and ArcGIS Pro. Over the coming days I hope to highlight these technologies and more in greater detail.

Last week saw the ESRI Developers Summit come and go in Palm Springs, CA. The Dev Summit is billed as being “designed to show you how to build cutting-edge apps using advanced mapping technology from Esri.” ESRI highlighted many of their new technologies including the ESRI Javascript API that has been updated to support 3d web maps on mobile devices, the ability to incorporate virtual reality/augmented reality VR/AR into your apps, and many other new features. They also highlighted new tools and some of the added functionality to some of their existing tools such as the Python API for ArcGIS and the addition of the ability to work with Rasters in the r-bridge package. To see for yourself what ESRI was highlighting at this years Dev Summit watch the videos of the plenary below.
