This year’s event will feature a wide range of sessions that bring together voices from across the geospatial, AEC, and built environment industries. Whether you’re passionate about emerging technologies, data integration, or digital transformation, there’s something here for you.
Here’s a sneak peek at just a few of the standout sessions:
Reimagining Mapping with AI and Scalable Technologies
From AI agents to generative simulations and large language models, artificial intelligence is transforming how we see and understand the world. This session will explore innovative ways to use AI in geospatial intelligence. Automating road and asset detection to translating large-scale environmental changes into actionable insights, there is sure to be an application for every area of geospatial you are interested in.
The Ugly Truths About Bathymetric Lidar
Behind every great bathymetric lidar dataset are challenges and lessons learned. This session offers a candid look at the realities of bathy lidar acquisition and processing, as experts share real-world data issues, what went wrong, and how they fixed them. Attendees will gain practical insights into turning raw lidar into accurate, high-quality results.
Integrating BIM and Geospatial Technologies for Smarter Construction
Digital integration is transforming how infrastructure and construction projects are planned and delivered. This session explores how BIM, GIS, and emerging geospatial tools are coming together to boost precision, automation, and collaboration across the project lifecycle. Experts will share insights that will bridge the gap between digital models and the physical world.
DOT Case Studies in Digital Delivery
Transportation agencies are using lidar, UAS, AI, and standardized workflows to modernize infrastructure management and planning. This session highlights automated asset inventories to statewide drone programs that will show how next gen geospatial tools and data standards are making transportation systems smarter, safer, and more efficient.
Digital Transformation Below the Surface
Advances in GPR, radar tomography, and GPS-integrated mapping are transforming how underground infrastructure is detected and managed. This session highlights applications of these tools to uncover hidden assets, build accurate 3D models, and prevent costly strikes that offer practical insights for safer, data driven construction and infrastructure planning.
New Techniques for Critical Infrastructure Inspection
Innovation in lidar, SLAM, and AI are transforming how engineers capture data in challenging environments. From mobile and static lidar for bridges, to unmanned surveys and AI-powered powerline mapping, this session demonstrates how tools improve safety, accuracy, and efficiency in infrastructure assessment and asset management.
With more than 50 sessions led by experts exploring the latest trends and research, Geo Week continues to be a must-attend hub for all things geospatial. The conference proves to be a space for collaboration and innovation that will shape the future of the industry.
The 2026 program also features dedicated content from the American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ASPRS) and the Reality Capture Network (RCN), bringing together communities focused on advancing standards, professional development, and cutting-edge applications of 3D and remote sensing technologies.
“I've had a great experience at Geo Week. Lots of people to talk to, lots of new connections to make, and that's always, I think, my favorite part about it, just getting those discussions going. Anything from little details of how we're doing things and how we could be doing them better to new partnerships and new opportunities.” said Chris Gilling, attendee of our 2025 Geo Week.
