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.
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.
