GEO Business Virtual Returns for 2026 with Three Days of Free Geospatial Content

GEO Business, the UK’s leading geospatial event, is bringing back GEO Business Virtual for the second year – and this time, there’s even more content.

After thousands of people joined the debut event in 2025, GEO Business Virtual is expanding to three days, with 11 free-to-attend, CPD-accredited webinars taking place from 29 September–1 October.

Designed to fit around busy working days, the event gives geospatial professionals the chance to hear from people tackling real industry challenges, explore new approaches and earn CPD hours – without having to travel or take a full day out of the office.

From AI and mobile mapping to reality capture, utilities, careers and geospatial data, the programme covers a broad mix of topics. Attendees can choose the sessions most relevant to their work, hear from people tackling similar challenges and pick up ideas they can apply to their own projects.

GEO Business Event Manager Annie Reardon-Smith said:
“The response to our first GEO Business Virtual showed us that people want more opportunities to hear from experts and learn about what’s happening across the industry, without always having to travel to an event.

“This year, we’ve expanded the programme to three days and 11 sessions, giving people more choice and more opportunities to join in. Whether you’re looking for a different way to approach a problem, want to see how others are using new technology, or simply want to keep up with what’s happening across the industry, there’s something for you.”
