The Association for Geographic Information’s (AGI) Foresight Conference 2025 will be held in London on 13 November, at which will be launched the The Foresight Report 2030, the result of a 12-month project exploring the opportunities and challenges facing the geospatial sector over the next five years.
The conference agenda features an keynote presentation from Ed Parsons, Geospatial Technology Advisor and Google’s first ever Geospatial Technologist, who will be joined by representatives from Amentum, AtkinsRéalis, Idox Geospatial, 1Spatial and the North Sea Transition Authority.
The innovative geospatial sector program also features opportunities to explore the themes of the Report — the Data Imperative, the AI Integration Challenge, Infrastructure Evolution, the Collaboration Imperative, Earth Systems Revolution, Skills Revolution, and the Convergence Effect.
The Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial (FOSS4G) conference series, hosted in partnership with OSGeo, brings together open source geospatial users, software developers, decision makers and researchers from around the world.
The FOSS4G 2025 conference in Auckland, New Zealand, will be a vibrant gathering that fosters collaboration and celebrates innovation in the exciting world of free and open source software for geospatial.
The event will feature workshops, technical sessions, keynote addresses, ‘lightning talks,’ code sprints and community events, social events and a ‘women in geospatial’ breakfast.
It is expected that the full program will be made available in August 2025.
Geo Week 2026 will bring together geospatial and mapping professionals to explore how data, maps, and advanced technologies can deepen our understanding of the world and inform solutions to complex challenges.
Designed for decision-makers and problem-solvers, the conference program will feature case studies, expert panels and roundtable discussions for the canvassing of ideas and predictions from a variety of experts: innovators, end-users, regulators and others.
The associated exhibition will showcase the latest solutions for the geospatial sector and the built world one roof, including BIM, advanced airborne/terrestrial technologies, and commercial 3D technologies.
The BYDA Utility Safety Conference will take place from 4 to 5 March, 2026 at the RACV Club, Melbourne. This conference is where Australia’s utility, construction and geospatial sectors come together to share knowledge, challenge old ways of working, and explore new ideas that make the industry safer and smarter.
On show will be BYDA’s Digital Utility Portal, which is moving from proof-of-concept into the next phase of development. The portal is showing how digital data sharing can dramatically reduce manual rework, improve accuracy, and give planners and engineers the real-time insight they need to prevent strikes.
Geo Connect Asia is the annual regional meeting place to bring practical and proven solutions to the market, combining four overlapping exhibitions with a series of conferences to exchange inspiring ideas and share cross-industry experiences. It is an exclusively in-person, trade show-driven event, with strong live content that engages both a Singapore-based and a regional audience.
More than 3000 delegates are expected to attend the 2026 event, with more than 35% of those coming from the wider APAC region and beyond.
The 2026 Main Conference theme, Transforming technology into solutions: underground, land and sea to sky, will seek to match practitioners from the user community with policymakers and the broader community to deliver outcomes to advance the value of the industry.
Delegate registration will open on 28 October 2025.
Geospatial World Forum (GWF) is a collaborative and interactive event that demonstrates the collective and shared vision of the global geospatial community.
This annual gathering brings together geospatial professionals and leaders representing national mapping agencies, private sector enterprises, multilateral and development organisations, scientific and academic institutions, and large end-users from government agencies and private businesses.
Geospatial World Forum 2026’s theme will be Sovereignty, Economy & Society, and the event is expected to attract:
- 50-plus partners
- 75-plus exhibitors
- 2,000-plus attendees from 100-plus countries
- 500-plus speakers
- Representatives from 1,000-plus organisations
For 2026, GWF returns to the location of its first iteration, the RAI Congress Centre in Amsterdam.
The International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing’s (ISPRS) XXV Congress will be held in Toronto, Canada, from 4 to 11 July 2026. This will be the first ISPRS Congress to held in Canada since the event in Ottawa in 1972, so it will be an historic occasion.
The event will bring together researchers, practitioners and industry leaders from around the globe to explore the latest advancements, trends and applications in photogrammetry and remote sensing.
The theme of the Congress, From Imagery to Understanding, captures the role of ISPRS and its scientific activities, and will culminate in a legacy project to create materials that can be used by the ISPRS community to better promote to funding agencies and others the important role that it plays in the world’s economic and environmental activities.
The Congress will run in parallel with the 47th Canadian Symposium on Remote Sensing (CSRS).
The abstract submission deadline has been extended to 17 November 2025, and early bird registration is now available.
