2025 Proceedings

The emerging Russian threat we currently face has already caused effect in German society and its military. An operational level plan was developed to counter aggression against the homeland and to support our own and the Allies’ deployments in case of war. The presentation will display how Germany intends to deal with the requirements of up to 800.000 NATO troops being deployed. Key focus will be on the German civil-military network and the requirements for a reliable and comprehensive real-time situational picture.

Decision-makers in national security, defense, and public safety need timely, accurate intelligence, yet traditional methods are slow and fragmented. Learn how organizations overcome these challenges by integrating Dataminr’s AI-powered real-time event, threat, and risk intelligence into the geospatial context of Esri’s ArcGIS platform. This powerful combination provides a unified Common Operating Picture enabling organizations to expedite decision-making, optimize resource allocation, and enhance situational awareness, so teams can act decisively to protect critical assets and personnel.

Data ingestion is often the initial step for geospatial users. This presentation will demonstrate data ingestion tools ranging from no-code to advanced options.

Norway’s terrain—fjords, islands, mountains, and dense cities—creates complex emergency logistics. With 800,000 annual calls, accurate geospatial data is critical; errors can misroute ambulances and cost lives. Norwegian EMS is piloting ArcGIS Enterprise across all EMCCs, improving CAD and ambulance navigation. This presentation shares our experience implementing GIS from scratch in a fragmented healthcare system, building unified capabilities, and enhancing governance, data quality, and integration. We’ll present measurable benefits like faster response times and fewer dispatch errors.
