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.
