2025 WA GIS Conference

Launching new technology is not like a field of dreams. It takes work and a solid plan to get people to buy in to using the new technology. Michael Green, an Esri adoption strategy expert, will walk you through the change management steps necessary to help build a healthy sponsor network, a strong communications plan and an attainable training plan to get your people on board with the GIS changes going on in your agency.

State and local governments in the United States are increasingly requiring educational institutions and municipalities to adopt critical incident mapping (CIM) and emergency management planning to support first responders and computer-aided dispatch (CAD) during emergencies. This presentation emphasizes the significance of integrating Esri products for CIM, emergency management, and asset management, particularly focusing on indoor mapping and digital twins.

Key topics covered include data sharing, safety asset mapping, facility mapping, ArcGIS Indoors, routing, 3D GIS, best path analysis, and evacuation planning, all achieved through the latest reality capture methods and ArcGIS technologies.
