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 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.
