Overview / Why Attend 

City and county departments depend on GIS for everything from permitting to emergency response, yet many still lean on outdated basemaps, disconnected data, and manual workflows. This session shows local-government leaders how current, high-resolution ortho and oblique imagery - augmented by AI change detection, point clouds, and 3-D web services—can convert static layers into a living decision-support hub. You will see how parcel-level attribution, elevation models, and historical imagery timelines eliminate redundant field visits, shorten plan-review cycles, and foster inter-department collaboration. Real-world examples—asset inventory, encroachment monitoring, equity mapping—demonstrate measurable ROI, smoother citizen interactions, and data transparency that withstands public scrutiny. Whether you are refreshing an enterprise GIS roadmap or looking for quick wins, the webinar distills best practices for integrating next-generation aerial content with ArcGIS, QGIS, AutoCAD, and asset-management systems commonly used in local government. Attend to learn how a unified imagery program reduces costs, boosts operational clarity, and delivers the authoritative data foundation every department now demands.

​

The Problem

Local governments frequently base multimillion-dollar decisions on imagery that is years old, low resolution, or inconsistently captured. Siloed data purchases lead to duplicative flights, mismatched coordinate systems, and re-work when departments cannot trust the same basemap. Without a current, high-accuracy imagery program, agencies struggle to meet rising expectations for real-time information and evidence-based policy.

​

Outline Agenda

• Common GIS pain points in today’s local government

• Anatomy of modern aerial imagery (orthos, obliques, 3-D, LiDAR, AI features)

• Integrating premium imagery into enterprise GIS & CAD

• Case walkthroughs: asset inventory, encroachment, equity mapping

• Funding & cooperative-purchase strategies

• Roadmap for scaling imagery across departments

 

Key Takeaways

• Formula for quantifying ROI on imagery investments

• Workflow templates that cut verification field trips by 50 %+

• Key data specs (GSD, accuracy, refresh) to include in RFPs

• Governance tips for making imagery the single source of truth

Overview / Why Attend 

Assessment offices face tight budgets, increasing workloads, and intense public scrutiny. This webinar demonstrates how high-resolution oblique imagery, roofline measurements, and AI-driven change detection allow local assessors to replace door-to-door inspections with desktop discovery, cutting site visits by up to 75 %. You’ll learn how image-based sketches connect directly to CAMA systems, ensuring consistent valuations and reducing appeal volumes. Dashboards that surface unpermitted additions, demolitions, or disaster damage empower staff to update rolls quickly while maintaining equity. Real county success stories illustrate roll-close acceleration, millions in recovered taxable value, and heightened taxpayer trust - all without raising rates. If your team fights backlog, manual sketches, or appeals citing outdated photos, this session provides the technology roadmap, workflow redesign, and stakeholder messaging needed to modernize assessment practices and meet new transparency mandates.

​

The Problem

Traditional field inspections cannot keep pace with rapid development, remodels, and climate-related damage. Manual sketches and inconsistent photos produce inequitable assessments and higher appeal volumes, eroding revenues. Taxpayers and oversight boards now demand data-rich, defensible valuations delivered faster than legacy processes allow.

​

Outline Agenda

• Market forces driving assessment modernization

• Imagery capture & accuracy requirements for appraisal

• Automating discovery: AI change detection & measurement extraction

• Integrating imagery with CAMA/sketch tools

• Appeal defense & taxpayer transparency portals

• Funding models: inter-department cost-share and grants

Key Takeaways

• ROI calculator for reduced fieldwork and recovered value

• Imagery and AI specs that meet IAAO guidelines

• Integration playbook for leading CAMA platforms

• Communication tactics that build taxpayer confidence

Who Should Attend

• County Assessor

• Chief Appraiser

• CAMA Administrator

• Property Tax Auditor

• GIS Coordinator (Assessment)

• Finance Director

• County Commissioner

Overview / Why Attend 

Seconds count in emergencies, and spatial context can be the difference between life and death. This webinar shows how current oblique imagery, rooftop-accurate addressing, and 3-D scene models equip dispatchers, incident commanders, and first responders with critical information before wheels roll. Learn how high-accuracy imagery feeds NG9-1-1, CAD, and mobile apps to pinpoint callers, highlight hydrants, gated entries, and hazmat locations, and guide optimal approach routes. Case studies from police, fire, and emergency management agencies demonstrate faster response times, improved situational awareness, and fewer on-scene surprises. We will also cover post-disaster imagery that accelerates FEMA reporting and frees sworn staff for mission-critical tasks. Whether upgrading to NG9-1-1, planning large events, or improving mutual-aid coordination, attendees will take away an implementation framework that embeds authoritative imagery across the public-safety lifecycle.

​

The Problem

Dispatch centers and field crews often rely on outdated maps lacking structural detail and current addressing, causing delays and safety risks. Verbal caller descriptions rarely convey building height, hazardous materials, or blocked access points. Without a shared, high-fidelity visual common operating picture, agencies struggle to coordinate resources in time-critical situations.

​

Outline Agenda

• The imagery gap in NG9-1-1 and CAD workflows

• From sky to screen: capturing, processing, and serving oblique imagery

• Fireground & law enforcement use cases: pre-plan to after-action review

• Integrating imagery with AVL, MDT, and situational-awareness tools

• Funding: 9-1-1 surcharges, homeland-security grants, cost-sharing

• Implementation roadmap & change management

 

Key Takeaways

• Steps to align imagery accuracy with NG9-1-1 requirements

• Metrics that prove imagery-enhanced CAD reduces response times

• Template for multi-agency cost-sharing (police, fire, EMA)

• Best practices for measuring operational impact and securing budgets

 

Who Should Attend

• Public Safety Directo

• 9-1-1 Coordinator

• Fire Chief

• Police Chief

• Emergency Management Planner

• GIS/Public Safety Analyst

• CAD/AVL System Administrator

• City Manager

Overview / Why Attend 

Aging streets, buried utilities, and growing climate threats require local governments to shift from reactive fixes to proactive asset stewardship. This webinar highlights how sub-3-inch-accuracy ortho/oblique imagery, LiDAR, and AI feature extraction create a comprehensive inventory of poles, pipes, pavements, and rights-of-way—without disruptive field crews or lane closures. Participants will see how imagery-based asset layers flow into GIS, CMMS, and digital-twin platforms to prioritize repairs, forecast deterioration, and meet federal reporting mandates. Workflows for vegetation management, stormwater compliance, and roadway condition scoring showcase ways to unlock grant funding and stretch O&M dollars. County and municipal examples illustrate 40 % faster inspections, five-year CIP savings, and heightened public confidence. If your agency grapples with data gaps, redundant surveys, or budget constraints, this session offers a practical blueprint for modern infrastructure management and climate resilience.

​

The Problem

Public-works and utility teams often rely on fragmented records, outdated GPS points, and sporadic inspections, leaving critical assets undocumented or inaccurately mapped. Reactive maintenance prolongs outages and inflates costs, while project prioritization remains guesswork. Regulators and residents increasingly expect defensible data and proactive risk mitigation that legacy practices cannot deliver.

​

Outline Agenda

• Why imagery-driven inventories outperform traditional surveys

• Capturing linear and vertical assets: imagery + LiDAR workflows

• AI extraction & condition scoring demonstrations

• Integrating outputs with GIS, CMMS, and digital twins

• Compliance & funding: GASB 34, stormwater, broadband, resilience grants

• Change management: training crews and sustaining program momentum

 

Key Takeaways

• Framework to cut asset-inventory costs by up to 50 %

• Data-quality standards that satisfy audits and grant criteria

• How to fuse imagery, LiDAR, and SCADA for a real-time digital twin

• Strategies to align engineering, operations, and finance on data value
