Tuesday March 4, 2025 10:30am - 12:00pm EST

Buckle up, assessors! This session is your one-way ticket to GIS greatness. Whether you're a GIS newbie or a seasoned pro, we'll show you how to harness the power of maps to make your job easier (and maybe even a little bit fun). Learn how to wrangle parcel data, spot property value outliers like a hawk, and explain those pesky assessments to stakeholders without breaking a sweat.

We'll even throw in some AI magic and field workflow tips to keep things interesting. Trust us, you'll leave this session feeling like a GIS superhero (cape not included).
