Mark is excited that GIS Day in Canada (November 19) and GIS Day (November 20) are fast approaching. These days highlight all the great work our user community is doing using GIS to solve real-world problems. The Esri Canada event will feature Dianne Whelan as our keynote speaker – she traversed the entire length of the Trans Canada Trail!  Incredible!  GIS Day in Canada will also feature three esteemed members of this podcast!  Alison O’Brien, Sue Enyedy, and our co-host Maggie Samson will present technical topics to close out the big day. 

Maggie returns to her roots (sort of) as she shouts out the Esri Support AI Chatbot. That’s right!  More AI.  This time it’s here to help our users find answers to many of their technical questions.  The technical support team created this chatbot to allow you to ask conversation questions to help initially guide them in the right direction, providing answers and links to Esri content including documentation and blogs.  It’s now available on the Esri website or via the Esri Support App.  And yes, it’s available to both our French and English users (40 languages in fact).  It may not solve everything difficult problem, but this is a fantastic tool to get your discovery journey started.

Mark starts things off by sharing his love of ArcGIS Pro’s new Neighborhood Explorer tool. This new tool, added in ArcGIS Pro 3.2, helps you prepare for statistical analysis by configuring, visualizing, and refining spatial relationships. By understanding the spatial proximity between features and their neighbours, users can model geographic effects accurately across various domains and problems. Maggie highlights a subtle but significant update to ArcGIS StoryMaps. Map actions have now been replaced with Media Actions, allowing you to create interactions not just the map but can be used to swap out the media entirely for a different piece of media. Want users to be able to add points to your map with a Survey123 form? Now you can add that form right to your story with media actions.
