March 24- ArcGIS Geospatial Platform – A Technical Overview
Presenters: Euan Cameron, David Cardella
Join us for a one-hour webinar designed specifically for federal government professionals who rely on Esri’s ArcGIS technology. Aimed at IT professionals, solution architects, developers, and DevOps engineers, this session will explore how the ArcGIS geospatial platform serves as a robust IT platform—enabling authoritative systems of record, advanced spatial analysis, and world-class 2D and 3D data visualizations. We’ll dive into how ArcGIS operates as an integrated system of applications that work seamlessly across desktop, server, web, and mobile environments. You’ll also learn how ArcGIS fits flexibly and securely into your broader enterprise IT infrastructure, supporting open standards and open APIs for smooth interoperability with existing tools and databases. Finally, we’ll highlight the platform’s well-architected foundation—engineered for performance, scalability, stability, and security—making it a trusted solution for mission-critical government operations. Whether you’re new to ArcGIS or looking to deepen your understanding, this webinar will provide valuable insights for maximizing your agency’s geospatial capabilities.
March 31- Strategies for Scripting and Automating Using Python
Presenters: Nick Giner, Manushi Majumdar
Python is the language of ArcGIS, used for analysis and data science, managing data, creating tools and models, and automating processes. It can be used in the ArcGIS Pro interface, in ArcGIS Notebooks, and in standalone scripts on desktops, on your servers, or on ArcGIS Online. Python is quite flexible in its ability to combine ArcPy and the ArcGIS API for Python with thousands of other open-source Python packages available in the Anaconda repository and elsewhere. Also covered will be the full set of resources available to developers for success: samples, open-source projects, training, videos, and community forums.
April 28- Strategies for Web Development
Presenters: Yixuan ‘Emily’ Hu, Andrew Turner
This webinar will introduce key components of web GIS technology and how you can create dynamic 2D and 3D maps that are shared between apps. We’ll cover configurable apps and low-code solutions for easy app creation, as well as options for building custom web apps that include using ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript web components for maximum developer productivity.
May 26- Strategies for Mobile and Desktop App Development
Presenters: Rex Hansen, Nicholas Furness, Max Ozenberger, Vedant Bajaj
This webinar will showcase Esri developer technology for building focused mobile and desktop GIS applications for your organization or agency. We will cover using ArcGIS Maps SDKs for Native Apps to build custom 2D and 3D mapping applications, ArcGIS Maps SDKs for Game Engines to build immersive 3D apps, and ArcGIS Pro SDK for .NET to extend the rich GIS functionality of ArcGIS Pro.
June 30- Designing and Implementing Modern ArcGIS Systems
Presenters: Kevin Kelly
ArcGIS systems are the backbone of modern geospatial infrastructure, powering all manners of applications and workflows across an organization. Whether supporting emergency response, command and control, or environmental monitoring, a well-architected ArcGIS system ensures that spatial data is accessible, reliable, and actionable. This session guides attendees through the full lifecycle of ArcGIS system design, implementation, and operations. Using the ArcGIS Well-Architected Framework and resources from the ArcGIS Architecture Center, presenters will share proven strategies for building scalable, secure, and high-performing systems tailored to organizational needs. From initial planning to deployment automation and performance monitoring, participants will gain practical insights to elevate their GIS architecture and operations.
