ESRI at Autodesk University 2021
ESRI and Autodesk are working together to bring GIS and building information modeling (BIM) across multidisciplinary teams and project life cycles. GIS extends the value of BIM design data through visualization and analysis of structures in the context of the natural and built environment. GIS and BIM integrations enable designers and engineers to design smarter, more efficient buildings and infrastructure.
Attend virtually at Autodesk University this year to hear industry leaders discuss GIS integrations for Autodesk and learn how geospatial engineering drives better decision-making. Discover more about ESRI hosted classes and to schedule a meeting at the virtual booth. Click below for more info.

Introducing the Regional Data Platform (RDP) for Southern California
Wednesday at 1:45pm PDT the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) will be hosting a special workshop showcasing the newly developed capabilities and features of the soon-to-be launched Regional Data Platform (RDP) pilot project. The RDP is SCAG’s biggest and most transformational initiative to date – providing a robust system for regional information sharing and collaboration to support more effective local and regional planning. During this hour-long session, SCAG and ESRI will demonstrate tools and applications for local planning that will be made available to all SCAG jurisdictions at launch, and showcase some features that will be piloted with a smaller group prior to rollout to the rest of the region.
You can access the session through the ESRI UC Web Agenda. You can find it on the UC web page > sessions: https://uc2021.esri.com/sessions and will be able to join using the “Join now” button which will appear the day-of.
