Got a bright idea about how we can use location data to solve problems, drive innovation, or transform industries? Working on a project that’s pushing the boundaries of geospatial technology? Or maybe you’ve spotted a trend that’s about to change everything?
Well, here’s your chance to share it with the world (or at least a pretty impressive crowd).
This year, GEO Business is shaking things up with the introduction of brand-new sector-focused theatres. And we need big thinkers like you to help fill them with fresh ideas and inspiring stories.
Whether you’re exploring earth observation, revolutionising transport infrastructure, or rethinking how location data drives energy solutions, there’s a stage for your expertise.
The event is all about showcasing how insights from geospatial technology are transforming industries. So why not show off your latest work or share your expertise and get in on the conversation?
Introducing the theatres
This year’s event introduces six new theatres, each covering to a key sector where geospatial technologies are making a big impact. If you’re working on innovative solutions or tackling challenges in these sectors, this is your chance to shine.
AEC Stage
Let’s talk smart buildings, digital twins, or how BIM is levelling up architecture, engineering and construction (AEC). Got a project that’s used insights from location data to reimagine the built environment? Share it here.
Transport & Infrastructure Stage
This theatre looks at highways, railways, bridges, and beyond. How can geospatial make infrastructure smarter, more sustainable, and more efficient? We’re looking for insights on everything from smart transport to next-gen planning.
Utilities & Energy Stage
Renewable energy? Check. Smarter utility grids? Check. Talks on geospatial’s role in powering the future? That’s what we’re looking for on this theatre.
Commercial Stage
Location, location, location! Whether it’s real estate analytics, retail site selection, or financial decision-making with spatial data, this is the place to share your expertise.
Earth Observation Stage
Space, satellites, and the big picture (literally) – that’s what this theatre is all about. From climate and disaster monitoring to resource management, we want to hear how satellites and remote sensing are unlocking a deeper understanding of our planet.
Surveying & Mapping Stage
Precision mapping and surveying remain the backbone of geospatial practice. Talks on advancements in GNSS, drones, and LiDAR are in demand for this theatre. If you’ve got a new technique or a mapping success story, we want to hear it.
Why you should speak
Presenting at GEO Business is your chance to share your vision and connect with an audience eager to understand how they can use location insights to improve their work.
You’ll position yourself as a thought leader, gain recognition for your expertise, and have the opportunity to inspire change across industries.
Who should apply?
We’re seeking speakers who can captivate audiences with:
- Bright ideas and fresh perspectives
- Real-world case studies of innovative projects
