1 min read

GEO Business 2018 – a geospatial-focused show which takes place between May 22-23 – will see a new seminar and workshop programme this year, along with a range of commercial workshops, strategic conference and networking events.

The event, geared at anyone interested in learning about the latest developments in geospatial technology, practice and applications, will host its series of free-to-attend seminars in which attendees will learn how the UK Government’s Digital Built Britain programme is evolving, as well as how technologies like BIM, Visualisation and Augmented Reality are interacting with new data sources like Big Data, Linked Data and Earth Observation data from satellites.

According to GEO, attendees will also hear about projects where the latest cutting-edge sensors and systems are being used to capture data quickly and safely using technologies like terrestrial laser scanning, imaging total stations, drones and airborne LiDAR.

The seminars will also highlight how these technologies are being used on major projects like Crossrail and the Thames Estuary Asset Management 2100 scheme; how surface mapping for road inspection ahead of re-surfacing can now be carried out much more rapidly; and how new monitoring systems are helping alert and protect building owners and occupiers in the vicinity of tunneling for the Northern Line Extension.

Geo adds that the seminars will feature real-world case studies that show how cost and risk can be reduced, as well as productivity increased. These will be delivered by ‘leading award-winning experts, researchers and opinion formers from across the private, public and academic sectors’.

GEO Business also includes nearly 100 manufacturer and developer led workshop sessions, a strategic conference and a variety of social events.
