2026 WA GIS Conference: Full Schedule

10:30am PDT

Wednesday May 20, 2026 10:30am - 11:30am PDT

Esri’s GeoAI capabilities fuse advanced machine learning, deep learning, and spatial analysis to automate feature extraction and accelerate insight generation across imagery, video, point clouds, text, and other geospatial data sources. By integrating pretrained models, configurable geoprocessing tools, and extensible Python APIs, ArcGIS empowers users to rapidly transform raw sensor data into actionable information. These capabilities now extend directly into field workflows through Survey123’s computer vision integration, image classification and feature detection to validate field observations, streamline QA/QC, and enrich survey data collection with automated intelligence.

Building on advancements in large language models, Esri is enhancing GeoAI with natural‑language‑driven analysis and intelligent assistants that help users discover data, generate workflows, and interact with GIS more intuitively. LLM‑powered text AI complements traditional feature extraction by enabling semantic understanding of unstructured content while Survey123’s vision‑based automation strengthens the connection between field capture and enterprise analysis. Together, these innovations make spatial AI more accessible, scalable, and efficient by unlocking new levels of productivity for analysts, field crews, and decision‑makers across industries.

ArcGIS for Real-Time Winter Weather and Street Sweeping Operations

Thursday May 21, 2026 1:30pm - 2:30pm PDT

403

ArcGIS Street Sweeping and Winter Weather Operations empower public works agencies to monitor real-time service activity, measure performance, and keep communities informed. By tracking sweeper and snowplow routes, organizations can improve service levels, meet regulatory requirements, and optimize responses to storms and seasonal conditions. Sharing clear schedules and status updates increases transparency, supports resident planning, and strengthens public trust. Together, these solutions streamline operations, enhance roadway safety, and help agencies manage resources efficiently while maintaining cleaner, safer, and more resilient transportation networks.
