&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important; line-height: 18px;" align="center"&gt;GIS practitioners do extraordinary work that too often gets buried behind interfaces only they know how to use. Conversational GIS changes that equation — putting authoritative data and sophisticated spatial analysis in the hands of decision-makers who'd rather ask a question than learn a tool. This presentation covers how AI and the ArcGIS platform come together to make it possible, with a live demo and honest reflections on what it means for the profession&lt;span&gt;&lt;font face="Tahoma" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

With 30 years in GIS and a focus on making spatial analysis more accessible, Matt leads product and strategy efforts to build tools that help people interact with complex spatial data using natural language and AI. He has worked with public- and private-sector clients across the U.S. to bring GIS into decision-making at all levels&lt;/abbr&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
