11/13/24 Webinar: Leveraging ArcGIS to Maximize Your SDI/NSDI Impact

Date: Wednesday, November 13

Time: 10am - 11am PT

From local to global, new distributed and collaborative GIS patterns help organizations work beyond borders to address common goals and shared challenges. This webinar will explore key strategies that make multi-organization geospatial collaborations successful. We’ll share best practices gathered from organizations worldwide that help maximize the impact of SDIs (Spatial Data Infrastructures) for all levels of government, the private sector, academia, and nonprofit organizations.

• Learn how to optimize your data to extend your reach, deliver ready-to-use data, and maximize discoverability for reuse.
• Discover how ArcGIS provides essential sharing and collaboration, engagement, and delivery solutions for creating foundational, operational, and topical integrated geospatial infrastructures.
• Explore ways to interconnect and share authoritative open data with internal and external communities and within larger geospatial ecosystems using APIs, federated catalogs, hub sites, and more.

At the 2020 Esri User Conference, the Regional Municipality of York (York Region) was honored for its pioneering work in creating a shared geospatial infrastructure that connects partners, breaks down silos, and puts their collective data to work. York Region is the first Canadian organization to win the President’s Award.

Many sessions and events at the UC are related to your Geospatial Collaborative’s organization, engagement, capacity building, and data & technology initiatives. Listed below are some favorites to help you find sessions organized by the topics that interest you most:

Esri UC 2020: SDI and Geospatial Collaboratives Sessions Flier.pdf

SDI and Geospatial Collaboratives Session

Audience: Executive Sponsors, GIOs, GIS Managers, GIS Council Members and Stakeholders in government, industry, NGOs, higher education

Spatial Data Infrastructures (SDIs) are rapidly evolving. Together, the internet and cloud computing are transforming the way organizations manage data and collaborate. Web GIS is significantly easier to use, deploy, and integrate into an SDI ecosystem than traditional system. Whether you call it an NSDI, OneMap, Regional Information System, Geoportal, or otherwise, SDI are pervasive at all levels of government and across many sectors. In this session you will learn how to leverage the ArcGIS platform to create new value for your SDI. Use ArcGIS Online and Hub with Open Data to set up a standards-compliant multi-organizational data sharing portal that will delight your partners and end-users.

*Join the Open Platform team virtually July 13-16, 2020 in the UC Expo for this and related on-demand Workshops and Demo Theater Presentations.

Going to the 2019 Esri User Conference? There are so many exciting things to do! We've put together a list of sessions of interest for people involved with SDI at local, regional, national, and global scales.

Spatial Data Infrastructures (SDIs) extend GIS beyond the enterprise. These SDI-related presentations, spotlight talks, and workshops include topics such as data management, best practices, and workflows; as well as product specific topics such as ArcGIS Enterprise, INSPIRE, and Hub.

Don't forget to mark your calendar for the SDI Special Interest Group meeting, Tuesday July 9th at 5:30pm.
