ArcGIS StoryMaps Events
Technical Workshop: ArcGIS StoryMaps: What’s New and What’s Coming
Monday, July 13 from 2:50-3:50 PM PDT
Presenters: Allen Carroll, Joseph Mayfield, Owen Evans
ArcGIS StoryMaps keeps getting better! In the past year, we have added a number of updates and enhancements that expand the authoring tools for creative storytelling and improve the reading experience. Tune in to learn about new storytelling features, mapping capabilities such as map choreography and map actions, the new slideshow and guided tour content blocks, story and app collections, and much more. We will also discuss the roadmap for ArcGIS StoryMaps, and share our plans for upcoming features.
Demo Theater Presentation: ArcGIS StoryMaps: Map Choreography and Map Actions
On-demand (watch anytime)
Presenters: Cooper Thomas, Ross Donihue
Maps can invite exploration and discovery—but they also have the potential to overwhelm readers. In this session, we’ll introduce you to the concept of “map choreography,” or the practice of deconstructing complex visualizations into simple, related views, using ArcGIS StoryMaps. We’ll show you the myriad ways in which map choreography can improve map-based narratives, and demonstrate how to implement it in ArcGIS StoryMaps.
