Not Just a Pretty Picture<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

As long as we\u2019re talking imagery, let\u2019s answer a question that might be on your mind\u2014what is the real impact of imagery on GIS \u2026 and why is it everywhere at the Esri UC 2023? Here at Esri, we know that imagery is so much more than just a base map. It plays a crucial role in enhancing the understanding of geographic areas of interest. Perhaps you are measuring ecological change over time or contributing to a more Earth-friendly transportation solution. Or you could be monitoring facilities to improve operational efficiency, or analyzing a population\u2019s access to humanitarian aid operations. Regardless of your mission, imagery provides a comprehensive understanding of the geographical landscape. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"kaltura","video_id":"1_gdng9gli","time":false,"start":0,"stop":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"

Getting from Remotely Sensed Data to Decisions<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

The Esri UC is a great opportunity to dig into the details of how ArcGIS supports your imagery in GIS initiatives. Find technical presentations and show floor demos in the <\/span>Detailed Agenda app<\/span><\/a>, so you can learn about imagery-first products, capabilities, and features. You\u2019ll see how ArcGIS is a comprehensive system with imagery capabilities woven into its fabric, so visualizing, analyzing, and exploiting imagery in your GIS is seamless. You’ll learn how to access ready-to-use <\/span>content <\/span><\/a>\u00a0and how to organize, grow, and <\/span>manage<\/span><\/a> your imagery collections. You’ll see how to visualize and exploit<\/a> images on your desktop or web browser, and how to transform imagery into intelligence with GeoAI and advanced image <\/span>analysis<\/span><\/a>. AND (drumroll please) we\u2019ll be showcasing our new <\/span>ArcGIS Reality<\/span><\/a> mapping products that create realistic representations of sites, cities, and even entire countries.\u00a0 <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Connect with your Fellow Imagery Users<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

\u00a0<\/span>I<\/span>n addition to all the amazing (and informative!) sessions, tech workshops and demos you\u2019ll attend, be sure to bookmark our two imagery Special Interest Group (or SIGs for short) discussions. Attend them to interact with a diverse panel of users just like you. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>This year, we are hosting the <\/span>Drones and Reality Mapping in GIS SIG<\/span><\/a> where drone experts will weigh in on their experience, the future of reality mapping, and more. And, at the <\/span>Advanced Imagery Analysis Community SIG<\/span><\/a>, we’ll deep dive into discussions of using imagery analysis tools and capabilities to solve important organizational challenges. SIGs offer a great opportunity to build deeper connections in the community as you share your work and challenges with each other. Don’t miss this chance to interact with your peers and network with like-minded professionals!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":1977352,"id":1977352,"title":"Jack at plenary 2022","filename":"Jack-at-plenary-2022.png","filesize":632744,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Jack-at-plenary-2022.png","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis\/imagery\/imagery-is-everywhere-at-the-esri-user-conference-2023\/jack-at-plenary-2022","alt":"Jack Dangermond at podium smiling with screen behind him.","author":"312882","description":"","caption":"Jack Dangermond addresses the crowd at last year's UC plenary.","name":"jack-at-plenary-2022","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":1945422,"date":"2023-06-14 20:38:32","modified":"2023-06-14 20:39:56","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/png","type":"image","subtype":"png","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1024,"height":576,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Jack-at-plenary-2022-213x200.png","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":200,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Jack-at-plenary-2022.png","medium-width":464,"medium-height":261,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Jack-at-plenary-2022.png","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":432,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Jack-at-plenary-2022.png","large-width":1024,"large-height":576,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Jack-at-plenary-2022.png","1536x1536-width":1024,"1536x1536-height":576,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Jack-at-plenary-2022.png","2048x2048-width":1024,"2048x2048-height":576,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Jack-at-plenary-2022-826x465.png","card_image-width":826,"card_image-height":465,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Jack-at-plenary-2022.png","wide_image-width":1024,"wide_image-height":576}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/en-us\/about\/events\/uc\/plenary"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"

Illuminating Imagery at the Plenary<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Now, I\u2019m excited to tell you about how imagery will be a featured technology in the highly anticipated <\/span>Esri UC plenary session<\/span><\/a>. Jack Dangermond will take center stage to unveil the latest imagery products and capabilities in ArcGIS Pro, ArcGIS Online, and ArcGIS Enterprise. You’ll hear not only from Jack, but also from keynote speakers including Dr. Steve Boyes, a conservationist and National Geographic Explorer. Dr. Boyes has used ArcGIS to amplify the value of satellite imagery and remote sensing data to undertake large-scale ground-truthing expeditions. You\u2019ll also see presentations by special customer guests. The City of Cambridge, MA will show you how they use Reality Mapping to connect new communities. Pacific Gas and Electric Company will demonstrate how geospatial evolution has changed the way they operate. And, Esri team members will feature beautiful, map-based presentations throughout the day to help you learn about everything imagery.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":1977452,"id":1977452,"title":"explore the agenda banner","filename":"explore-the-agenda-banner.png","filesize":1736286,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/05\/explore-the-agenda-banner.png","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis\/imagery\/imagery-is-everywhere-at-the-esri-user-conference-2023\/explore-the-agenda-banner","alt":"Woman in glasses smiling with a colorful background listing the dates of the user conference and text that says Explore the Agenda","author":"312882","description":"","caption":"Build your own agenda using our online app","name":"explore-the-agenda-banner","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":1945422,"date":"2023-06-14 20:43:49","modified":"2023-06-14 20:46:53","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/png","type":"image","subtype":"png","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1616,"height":735,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/05\/explore-the-agenda-banner-213x200.png","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":200,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/05\/explore-the-agenda-banner.png","medium-width":464,"medium-height":211,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/05\/explore-the-agenda-banner.png","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":349,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/05\/explore-the-agenda-banner.png","large-width":1616,"large-height":735,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/05\/explore-the-agenda-banner-1536x699.png","1536x1536-width":1536,"1536x1536-height":699,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/05\/explore-the-agenda-banner.png","2048x2048-width":1616,"2048x2048-height":735,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/05\/explore-the-agenda-banner-826x376.png","card_image-width":826,"card_image-height":376,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/05\/explore-the-agenda-banner.png","wide_image-width":1616,"wide_image-height":735}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":"https:\/\/uc2023.esri.com\/flow\/esri\/23uc\/eventportal\/page\/detailed-agenda?expires_in=7140&ssl=true&username=kmaglia%40esri.com_esriinc"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"
