Special Events & Conference Gear

Special Workshop with John Nelson, Esri

John NelsonJoin us on Sunday, September 14th, for a special Pre-conference Workshop with Ohio GIS Keynote Speaker John Nelson. 
Time: 4:00-6:00pm
Location: Hilton Polaris/Columbus
Cost: You must be registered to attend the Ohio GIS Conference in order to attend the workshop.
Areas of Interest:
In this workshop we'll walk through a bunch of different ways you can bring special visual attention to the focal subject of your map. As a key player in many maps, the area of interest deserves its role in the hot sun and we'll learn practical and easy-to-apply techniques to bring them to life. Bring a laptop to follow along, or just watch and take notes, or just watch and heckle. All are welcome! We'll be using ArcGIS Pro and ArcGIS Online.
