The 2026 Main Conference theme, Geospatial + autonomy in the age of AI, 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.

Seven focused platforms anchor the program: Geo Autonomy Summit, Indoor Mapping Forum, GNSS Asia Executive Circle, Geo Smart Mining Forum, Digital Underground Connect, Tech Talk Stage and the Innovation Stage.

Geo Connect Asia 2026 will also include an extensive exhibition featuring dozens of companies and government agencies, covering the whole gamut of geospatial technologies and solutions.

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

• Representatives from 1,000-plus organisations

For 2026, GWF returns to the location of its first iteration, the RAI Congress Centre in Amsterdam.

Registrations are open for the 1Spatial World Tour 2026 featuring FME.

The global event series returns for 2026 under the theme of ‘Got You Covered,’ bringing together geospatial professionals, innovators, and industry leaders for a day of insights and connection.

This year’s 1Spatial World Tour will explore how users can achieve complete confidence in their geospatial ecosystem, from data quality and compliance to automation, integration and emerging technologies.

There’ll also be giveaways, swag, training vouchers, and a chance to win tickets to LOCATE26 and The Peak of Data & AI 2027 in London!

A major focus of the 2026 tour will be showcasing the latest improvements already released in FME 2026.1, along with a look at what’s coming next under Safe Software’s new quarterly release model.

Recent updates include expanded format support, such as for Microsoft Fabric Data Warehouse, PMTiles, HDF5 Raster, Esri File Geodatabase (OpenFile Geodb), and the technology preview of CityGML 3 — enhancements that strengthen enterprise integration, cloud workflows and 3D capabilities.

Members of the geospatial community, from first-time users to FME gurus, are invited to present a project, workflow or creative use of FME. Abstract submissions can be made here.

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.

South Australia’s Spatial Information Day (SID) will be held on Friday, 7 August at the Adelaide Convention Centre.

An annual highlight of the South Australian geospatial community’s calendar, SID brings together experts from the fields of surveying, GIS, remote sensing, photogrammetry and more, for wide-ranging discussions and networking.

The theme for 2026 is ‘Every future starts somewhere: From ground truth to space, shaping what comes next,’ and for 2026 the organisers are hoping to attract around 400 delegates and 40 speakers. This year will also see the introduction of the inaugural South Australian EISSI Awards Dinner.

The call for abstracts and papers is now open, with speakers invited to submit their ideas within a wide span of topics, such as:

• Various spatial disciplines, e.g. GIS, surveying and so on;
• Real-world case studies;
• Insights into innovation techniques and approaches;
• Smart cities and infrastructure;
• Emerging technologies.

A sponsorship prospectus is now available, while tickets for the event are expected to go on sale soon.
