This hands-on workshop will introduce the benefits of participating in Esri Community Maps: a cooperative effort by the ArcGIS user community to build a living atlas of the world using the best available data sources from authoritative sources like your GIS organization.
You will learn how the program is structured and best practices for preparing authoritative content to be published in Community Maps online basemaps. This includes a thorough overview to the new Community Maps Data Prep Tools, which make the process of preparing your data for submission simple and straightforward. This interactive session includes hands-on exercises and software demonstrations.
