Led by Keith Swavely, Esri

Smart cities and smart communities make the lives of their citizens better. Esri is the leader in spatial thinking and pioneers the technology that helps governments of all sizes build smart communities. With GIS technology, they can meet current challenges; rethink “business as usual” mindsets; and reimagine a community based on technological advances that support infrastructure needs, humans in crisis, climate change, and whatever else the future may bring.

Join Esri to learn about its smart community information system, which establishes four technology tenets governments need to deliver smart communities and smart cities.
  • Planning and Engineering
  • Operational Efficiency
  • Data Driven Performance
  • Civic Inclusion

The following is the tentative agenda for this Special Interest Group.
  • 2:00–2:45 ArcGIS Smart Communities Overview, Keith Swavely and Lauri Dafner, Esri
  • 2:45–3:15 Transforming Field Crews, Elliot Plack, KCI
  • 3:15–3:45 Amazing Maps Help Tell the Story, Andrew Bernish, MDOT, KFH
