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.
