This workshop offers an introduction to agentic artificial intelligence within the geospatial and remote sensing industry, presented by the NV5 Geospatial team. Attendees will gain a working understanding of how AI agents are built and applied to real-world GIS and remote sensing workflows, spanning both vector and raster data. Through live demonstrations of NV5's GeoAI product suite, presenters will show how organizations can move from raw geospatial data to actionable decisions using agentic, AI-driven tools. The session will close with a look ahead at where agentic AI is headed across the GIS and remote sensing industry, and what organizations should prepare for as the technology matures. Attendees will have the opportunity to log in and interact directly with the platforms being demonstrated. This will be a hands-on demonstration and discussion session rather than a lab exercise since we'll be in the hotel meeting space. We'd like attendees to bring their own laptops so they can log in and follow along. We'll be demonstrating NV5's GeoAI agentic solutions live.
In 2024, USGS released the first Annual National Land Cover Database for the contiguous United States. This database provides a consistent and comparable view of land cover across four decades. The Division of Geographic Information (DGI) has published the annual land cover data as web services and applications to help communities across the Commonwealth access and analyze it. This workshop will provide an overview of the data, how to access it, and how to apply visualization and spatial analysis techniques in ArcGIS Pro. Finally, we will explore how to use Jupyter Notebooks and Map Algebra to discover and measure landscape change. This is a hands-on workshop with demonstrations and exercises. Participants are encouraged to bring their own laptops with ArcGIS Pro installed if they prefer.
