Registrations are essential, for catering purposes.
We look forward to seeing you there!

You might have heard that new technologies and innovations are merging the physical, digital and biological worlds in ways that will fundamentally transform humankind. The 4th industrial revolution is coming! And it will witness innovations in areas such as autonomous cars, smart robotics, and a manufacturing process built around 3D printing. Location technology will play a major role in this revolution.
This fresh wave of change is going to have a major impact on the world including the geospatial industry. Which is why Geospatial World Forum 2018 is going to revolve around the theme “Geo4IR: Geo-enabling 4th Industrial Revolution”, to establish the connection between geospatial technology and the 4th Industrial Revolution (4IR). The event will transport the attendees to the era of 4IR through informative sessions and stimulating discussions, and an exciting display of futuristic technologies.
The most awaited annual geospatial conference is scheduled to take place from January 16-19, 2017, in Hyderabad International Convention Centre, Hyderabad, India. For 9 glorious years, the platform has successfully highlighted the true potential of geospatial technology across multiple sectors and industries. Thought leaders from across the globe will share various case studies and ideas on how integration of location intelligence and geospatial technology works with IOT, Big Data, and Artificial Intelligence.
GWF 2018 will host four stand-alone conferences. Take a look:
- GeoBuiz Summit 2018: “Breaking the silo mentality”. GeoBuiz will be a unique platform for understanding the collaborative environment between industry, multilateral and government organizations. It will also highlight the evolving trends, market behavior, etc.
- Location World: “Business without location is not a business anymore”. At Location World, the business community will come together to talk about collaboration, changing business models innovative products, and processes to stay current, responsive, and agile.
- Geo4SDGs: “Sustainability starts here”. With the theme ‘Geo-knowledge conduit to SDGs success’, Geo4SDGs will engage stakeholders to understand the importance geospatial information for achieving Sustainable Development Goals.
- GeoIntelligence: “Actionable Intelligence = Mission Success”, the Geospatial Intelligence (GEOINT) community will come together for insightful discussions and networking opportunity with the Defense and the Security sector.

As threats to national security become more unpredictable, geospatial intelligence has an even more important role to play in the future of safety, security and defence. Fortunately, developments in policy, breakthroughs in technology and advances in training are making a real difference already.
To find out how geospatial intelligence will solve the biggest safety, security and defence challenges in an increasingly contested world attend DGI 2018, the biggest meeting of geospatial intelligence leaders in Europe.

The 18th Annual International LiDAR Mapping Forum (ILMF) will take place in Denver, Colorado, USA, February 5-7, 2018.
International LiDAR Mapping Forum (ILMF) is a technical conference and exhibition showcasing the latest airborne, terrestrial, and underwater LiDAR as well as emerging remote-sensing and data collection tools and technologies for:
- Asset Management
- Civil Infrastructure
- Coastal Zone Mapping
- Emergency Services & Disaster Response
- Land and Natural Resource Management
- Urban Modelling
- and more
Aerial, mobile and underwater measurement and monitoring are being aided by new tools and technologies, all of which are addressed ILMF. Technologies include aerial and mobile lidar systems as well as emerging technology platforms including UAV/UAS. Other technologies include topo/bathymetric solutions, Geiger-mode and single photon lidar, multi and hyperspectral imaging. Data processing content addresses latest innovations to solve data fusion, data integrity, post-processing, analytics as well as updates on data interoperability.
Topics include asset management, infrastructure inspection and maintenance for utilities, process & power, coastal zone mapping and surveying, emergency and disaster response, land and natural resource management, urban modeling and construction.

ABOUT OUR SPEAKERS AND PRESENTATIONS
Speaker 1: Liz Fulton
Liz Fulton is GIS Operations Manager of Cardno throughout the Asia Pacific region.
RPAS – Taking imagery to new heights
Liz will provide an overview of remotely piloted aircraft technology and how it integrates into the surveying and spatial industry. She will discuss aspects of the technology for companies to consider and a quick look at how a multi-disciplinary professional service company is using it.
Speaker 2: Julia Spark
Julia Spark is the National Business Development Manager for Atlass-Aerometrex, a wholly Australian aerial survey company.
Unleashing the full capacity of remote sensing
Traditional photogrammetric and LiDAR technologies will form the basis of this presentation working through to the latest 3D technologies. High-resolution, photo realistic, accurate reality models extracted from photogrammetry to create a triangulated irregular network model provides users with detailed 3D visualisation allowing them to communicate complex information useful for stakeholders, public consultation, augmented reality and virtual tours.
