The search starts now – entries are open to speak at GEO Business 2026.
Visionaries, innovators, and boundary-pushers from across geospatial are invited to take the stage at Excel London, 3-4 June 2026. Over 6,100 professionals and 110+ leading brands will be there to celebrate the advancements in the field and champion one thing: the power – and future – of location.
“We want to hear from people with powerful ideas; thinkers and doers who can energise, inform, and inspire our audience.” says Event Manager, Annie Reardon-Smith.
“If you’re shaping the future of geospatial technology, using location data to solve real-world problems, or addressing the industry’s most pressing issues, we want to hear about it.”
Why take the mic?
GEO Business isn’t just another industry event – it’s where the future of geospatial gets mapped out. With 150+ expert sessions, demos, workshops, debates, and real-world case studies, it’s where bold ideas and brilliant minds connect to push the boundaries of geospatial innovation.
Previous speaker Andrew Evans, Senior Product Manager, Topcon, noted:
“There’s a lot going on – it’s interesting to see. What I’m really impressed with is the quality of speakers and a well thought out selection of presentations.”
Fellow speaker, Dr Iris Kramer, Founder and CEO of ArchAI, highlighted the importance of exposure: “We got loads and loads of people coming to our talk and lots of interesting conversations from that, so it’s been really great.”
Mapping the future of geospatial: The topics to touch on
If it’s shaping the geospatial landscape, it belongs on the programme. Themes span the full spectrum, including:
- Next-generation applications of location intelligence
- BIM, GIS, and digital integration across the built environment
- Geospatial analytics, data management, and decision support
- Earth observation, remote sensing, and satellite technologies
- Mapping, surveying, and measurement innovation
- Sustainability, climate resilience, and societal impact through geospatial
- Emerging tech: AI, automation, and smart systems
New for 2026: AI takes the stage
The AI in Action Stage will make its debut at the show, with a promise to prove why AI isn’t just a buzzword. It’s designed to teach how AI is transforming the way we capture, understand, and shape the world around us – live, unfiltered, and built for the challenges facing geospatial right now.
But geospatial is about more than just AI. Applicants can also choose from:
- Earth Observation
- Transport & Infrastructure
- AEC Stage
- Surveying & Mapping
- Utilities & Energy
New voices welcome
When it comes to building the programme, fresh ideas, rising talent and underrepresented perspectives are top priority. GEO Business is committed to building a more inclusive and representative geospatial community, and first-time speakers are strongly encouraged to apply.
