Topic:
It's Time to Move On: A Persuasive Case for Transitioning from ArcGIS Desktop to ArcGIS Pro

Abstract:
ArcGIS Pro is Esri's powerful and modern desktop application, supporting data visualization, advanced analysis, and authoritative data maintenance in 2D, 3D, and 4D, as well as integration with Esri's web GIS technology through ArcGIS Online and ArcGIS Enterprise. Now at version 2.8, ArcGIS Pro reached parity with ArcGIS Desktop some time ago and is a stable and mature product. Nevertheless, two polls conducted during recent local conference sessions suggested that 60% of attendees had not started using ArcGIS Pro, which makes it incumbent on those of us who are taking full advantage of ArcGIS Pro to encourage them to start to make the transition from ArcGIS Desktop. The purpose of this collaboration session is to support that effort. The session will consist of four parts: (1) An overview of ArcGIS Pro and why it's worth switching from ArcGIS Desktop; (2) An example of a hybrid ArcMap/ArcGIS Pro approach for completing a complex project, while gradually transitioning from existing workflows to new and improved ones; (3) ArcGIS Pro tips and tricks; and (4) A period of audience engagement, during which attendees will be invited to offer their own perspectives and seek advice from other attendees. As the session title states, a persuasive case will be made, on the grounds that it is better to be persuaded to make the move to ArcGIS Pro now than it is to stressfully make the transition in the face an impending deadline, beyond which ArcGIS Desktop will no longer be usable.
