Call for speakers at GEO Business 2026

GEO Business 2026, the annual two-day conference and exhibition for geospatial and geophysical professionals, has issued a call for speakers to take the stage at Excel London on 3-4 June 2026.

Over 6,100 professionals and 110+ leading brands will attend the event, which will celebrate the advancements in the field and champion one thing: the power – and future – of location.

Event manager Annie Reardon-Smith “We want to hear from people with powerful ideas; thinkers and doers who can energise, inform, and inspire our audience.”

“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.”

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.

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.

Previous speaker Andrew Evans, senior product manager at 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.”

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.

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.

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.”

But geospatial is about more than just AI. Applicants can also choose from:

• Earth Observation

• Transport & Infrastructure

• AEC Stage

• Surveying & Mapping

• Utilities & Energy

Those interested in speaking are asked to submit their proposal via the GEO Business website. Full details and guidelines can be found at www.geobusinessshow.com/speaking-at-geo-business. Entries close 20 February 2026.

Applications will be reviewed after the deadline, and successful applicants will be contacted via email.
