Using QGIS with LIDAR Data (1:00 - 5:00 PM) Cost $00.00 - Teacher: Randy Hale Format: In-Person, Private Dining Room
This class is aimed at people that would like to view and manipulate LIDAR data in QGIS. Class Participants will take elevation data (tifs) and LIDAR data (LAS/LAZ) files and view/Symbolize those in 2D and 3D. Participants will take LAS data and filter, extract, and create data with QGIS. Class Participants should at least be familiar with QGIS, adding and removing data, and symbolization. Come with your own laptop with the latest install of QGIS installed and we’ll have fun. Please email if you don't know whether you should take the class or not. It's better to not get frustrated than take something and get frustrated.

ArcGIS Experience Builder & Arcade Across the ArcGIS Platform (1:00 - 5:00 PM) Cost $00.00 - Teacher: Mike Sweeney Format: In-Person
ArcGIS Experience Builder empowers you to quickly transform your data to interactive, mobile optimized web apps and web pages. It provides a new level of configuration with flexible design, mobile optimization, smart widgets, and integration. Learn the building blocks of Experience Builder including pages, windows, widgets, data sources, layouts, and themes, as well as how they work together, then adapt the content on different screen sizes, integrate with ArcGIS Survey123 and ArcGIS Dashboards apps to streamline processes, and interact with your 2D and 3D data for immersive experience.
This session will cover the ArcGIS Arcade expression language. Learn how to use Arcade for simple functions like configuring popups, labeling and symbology for ArcGIS Pro, ArcGIS Online and ArcGIS field apps. In addition, learn about advanced capabilities of Arcade for data engineering, analysis and use in ArcGIS Dashboards and APIs. This course is intended for all ArcGIS users, and we will establish a foundation in Arcade before moving onto more advanced use cases of Arcade.
