GEO Business has announced that visitor registration is now open. The free-to-attend event, hosted at ExCeL London on 17-18 May 2023, brings the geospatial community together all under one roof.
Each year around 3,000 experts from across the profession attend to share ideas, source new technologies, discover new ways of working and grow their networks.
The highly anticipated 2023 event is set to be the best yet, featuring 120 global brands and cutting-edge start-ups showcasing the newest tech, tools and solutions for geospatial. Plus, a CPD accredited education programme with 200 sessions to choose from will allow visitors to get up to date with the latest developments.
Ollie Hughes, Event Director of GEO Business, says: “We’re excited to be planning a stand-out event for 2023, that offers even more opportunities for the geospatial community to connect, collaborate and innovate. With free registration now open, we can’t wait to welcome our visitors on 17-18 May.”

The tech on display will include 3D visualisation; aerial mapping; BIM; GIS/GNSS; laser scanning and LiDAR; machine learning and AI; mobile mapping; photogrammetry; point clouds; reality capture; remote sensing; robotics and automation; Simultaneous Localisation and Mapping (SLAM); UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle)/Drones Visualisation; augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR); and more.
