Welcome to MDW'2018
Discovering ArcGIS
The New Zealand Cartographic Society is proud to present another exciting two-day Map Design Workshop to be held 3-4 September 2018. It will be hosted at Victoria University of Wellington, Kelburn Campus.
MDW'2018 is designed for anyone wishing to know how to make and share maps using the ArcGIS platform. It will focus on mapping in the context of a modern web GIS, covering the wide range of mapping capabilities available with ArcGIS Pro and ArcGIS Online.
This workshop will be of interest to a diverse audience, including attendees from academia, the government sector, the private sector, and non-government organizations. The presentations will cover relevant conceptual ideas, descriptions of methods, and diverse and useful examples of ArcGIS in action. Participants will be given the background necessary to understand how ArcGIS could be used to map their own data, answer their own questions, and solve their own problems. The workshop will include a variety of tutorials and reference online resources that allow participants to try out the methods described to create their own maps and apps.
