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 Tasmanian State of GIS Conference 2026 will be held in Hobart on 3 June.
The Conference will bring together Tasmania’s geospatial community of practitioners, researchers, technologists and decision-makers to share ideas, showcase innovations, and chart the future of spatial thinking.
The theme for this year’s conference is ‘Island to Insight: AI, Analytics and the Digital Landscape,’ reflecting the ongoing convergence of the geospatial sector and the IT world.
Tasmanian geospatial endeavours cover a wide range of activities in sectors such as precision agriculture, forestry management, coastal monitoring, polar science and major infrastructure delivery.
Presentations will cover current and future advanced analytics and AI workflows and how they challenge, compliment or enhance traditional GIS and Earth observation practices.
