1Spatial World Tour 2026 featuring FME – 18 May to 4 June @ Australian capital cities, 18 May to 4 June

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.

The event will feature expert presentations, live demonstrations of FME 2026’s newest capabilities, customer success stories and real-world applications, deep dive sessions, Q&A sessions with the 1Spatial technical team, and networking opportunities with peers and product specialists.

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.

Workshop on AI Foundation Model for Earth Observation @ Huntsville, Alabama, and livestreamed
May 19 @ 9:00 am – May 22 @ 5:00 pm
Workshop on AI Foundation Model for Earth Observation @ Huntsville, Alabama, and livestreamed

Join experts from artificial intelligence (AI) and data science, thematic applications, engineers and research scientists active in the field of foundation models (FMs) applied to climate, weather, Earth observation (EO), and Earth sciences from across the globe in this workshop hosted by NASA and ESA (European Space Agency).

The Second ESA-NASA International Workshop on AI Foundation Model for Earth Observation will focus on further strengthening cross-agency and cross-disciplinary collaboration between the EO and AI/FM communities to advance the transition of foundation models from research prototypes to operational, trustworthy, and impactful Earth science tools.

The key goal of the workshop is to foster meaningful exchange across science, applications, and operations, while creating space for emerging topics such as agentic AI, novel applications, benchmarking frameworks, and responsible AI use.
