Kentucky GIS Conference 2024

In this workshop we will be making a migration map in ArcGIS Pro. Is it important that we all make a dynamite animal migration map? No way. What this is really about is sneaking in a bunch of independently practical tips and tricks for working with publicly available data, geoprocessing, cartography, layouts, and easily sharable formats. What happens if you don't finish in the workshop's allotted time? No problem, you'll have a document with all the steps and links so you can work on it later at your convenience. Will you learn a lot? I don't know, but I'm confident you'll learn at least a little. Will you have fun? That's entirely up to you but I'll be having fun and I hope you successfully convince yourself later that you had fun. Should you deviate from the tutorial and try different data sources and cartographic symbology and creative alternative layout arrangements? Gosh, that would be cool, just know that going off road has its own risks like getting lost or rolling over. But that's when we learn the most. Should you bring your own laptop? You can if you want, but we'll be in a GIS lab with computers and software. Do you need to use your own ArcGIS license? You can if you want, but the lab will have accounts you can use. Should you expect any amount of IT assistance from me? Sadly, no; from an IT perspective I will be no help. So come on down and learn a handful of cool skills that you can take back to your own work, and probably even have a neat looking map at the end of the day that you can use to lure your friends and family into rewarding careers in geography!
Parking will be at the Floyd St. Parking Structure. A parking fee will be charged to participants.
