3 Free GIS Training Events Coming Soon
With another amazing User Conference in the rearview, why not build on that momentum and keep the GIS fun going? Esri Academy has plenty of free learning resources young professionals may be interested in.
If you’re looking to boost your résumé and stand out from the crowd, adding some professional development time to your calendar is a worthwhile investment.
I’ve rounded up three awesome (and completely free!) learning opportunities that are just around the corner. Sign up for as many as you’d like:
1. Understanding GeoAI in ArcGIS | Live Training Seminar
August 15, 2024 at 9:00 AM and 11:00 (Pacific time)
Artificial intelligence (AI) is THE tech topic of the moment. While it’s too soon to know the answers to all the questions being asked, we do know that geospatial AI (GeoAI) can dramatically reduce the time to process large datasets, extract information from imagery, and analyze all kinds of data at scale.
Join Esri’s free, one-hour live seminar to learn how GeoAI has evolved, where it’s going, and how you might apply it.
P.S.: A recording will be available on Esri Academy starting August 16.
Upcoming MOOCs
Esri's massive open online courses (MOOCs) are informative, fun, and welcome tens of thousands of global learners each year. If you haven’t experienced a MOOC yet, now is the perfect time to sample new GIS workflows, hear from subject matter experts, and try out the latest ArcGIS software. A certificate is awarded for course completion.
2. Spatial Data Science: The New Frontier in Analytics | MOOC
