Lowering the Barrier: Expanding Access to Broadband GIS Data Expanding broadband requires navigating complex data, fragmented funding opportunities, and limited local capacity. This presentation highlights the development of an accessible data resource that simplifies analysis, empowers community leaders to make informed decisions, and helping residents better understand when improved internet access may reach their communities. | Matthew Custer Merit Network Stone Theatre |
Mapping the Red Cedar River Trail and Bonus How-To Fest (90 minute session - Part I) This two-part workshop begins with the creation of the new Red Cedar River Trail map, covering data preparation, cartographic design, and layout decisions. The second half is a tutorial jam-fest featuring a dozen or so ArcGIS Online and ArcGIS Pro techniques for emphasizing areas of interest. Follow along or watch, and receive a reference guide with all the mapping recipes. | John Nelson Esri Glens I & II |
Use Cases of Ground Penetrating Radar Discover how Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) is transforming subsurface investigations through real-world applications. This presentation explores utility locating, infrastructure assessments, and a featured project where GPR, GPS, and GIS were combined to estimate volume. | Cade Armstrong OHM Advisors Glens III |
9-1-1 Data Today, What You Will Need Next, and How it Will be Used As Michigan builds and deploys GIS for NG9-1-1, alignment with legacy 911 data, correct attribution and geometry are critical to dependable 9-1-1 service. This session covers today's GIS needs and the two paths to transition fixed-location devices from tabular to geospatial routing—Path A (call routing) and Path B (civic location conversion)—plus the shared ALI-to-GIS prerequisite. | Richard

What Was Found, and Where: Mapping Beaver Island Archaeology Using Web GIS This presentation discusses a web mapping project developed to organize and visualize archaeological data collected by Northern Michigan University on Beaver Island, Michigan. Using ArcGIS Experience Builder, the project helps connect excavation records, maps, photographs, and artifact data to their spatial context, helping users better understand not only what was found, but where it was found. | Anna Seebeck NMU Prairie IV |

Creating Temporal Shifts with the ESRI Experience Builder Timeline Widget The timeline widget in ESRI Experience Builder allows you to view past imagery in sequence so that you can view how the landscape has changed over time. With the help of Avineon, Grand Traverse County was able to share time enabled aerial imagery that allowed us to load our imagery dating back to 1996. This presentation will review the process that Avineon used and our future sharing techniques. | Josh Green Grand Traverse County Stone Theatre |

Modernizing Land Use Analysis from 1958 to 2024 SEMCOG staff share the process of updating a found historic map from 1958 to create a special 2024 reproduction to celebrate SEMCOG's upcoming 60th anniversary. This talk will look at the benefits and challenges of modernizing a historic product, including limited color printing, ADA compliance, vintage motifs, and evolving land use definitions. | Cassandra Verras & Taylor Abdulhadi SEMCOG Glens III |
City of Detroit GIS-Enabled Tax Foreclosure Prevention Program The City of Detroit Tax Foreclosure Prevention Program conducts annual door-to-door outreach to residential properties to help Detroit homeowners avoid tax foreclosure and remain in their homes. The program targets properties with delinquent property taxes that are 3+ years overdue. GIS plays a key role in this program by implementing Survey123, Field Maps, Dashboards, and Experience Builder. | Almaz Naizghi City of Detroit Prairie V & VI |
Hidden Waters: How Historic Wetland Loss Drives Contemporary Flood Risk in Michigan Michigan's Clinton Watershed (HUC 04090003) lost 85%+ of native wetlands. Using GIS, we analyze urban-rural flood risk by correlating First Street Foundation data with the State's Circa 1800 Land Cover dataset and LiDAR. We test if building on buried 'ghost wetlands' drives modern flood risk. Results show mapping historic hydrology is vital for municipal risk management and climate resilience. | Jacob Napieralski, PhD Univerity of Michigan Prairie IV |
