GeoIgnite is once again hosting the popular Map and Poster Gallery program, and we are inviting submissions from across Canada! Whether you’re a cartographer, part of an educational institution, a government department, or a student, we encourage you to share your high-quality maps and posters.The initiative is in partnership with the Canadian Cartographic Association (CCA).
Artificial Intelligence is transforming how we interpret and act on information—but what does that mean for the geospatial world? As AI models generate synthetic maps, infer locations, and automate analysis, geospatial professionals face a critical moment: will we shape the future, or be shaped by it?In this session, the CEO of the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) will explore the complex relationship between AI and geospatial systems—from the risks of black-box models and data halluci...
Keith J. Masback is one of the most respected voices in the field of geospatial intelligence (GEOINT), with over three decades of leadership spanning the U.S. government, military, and private sector. His deep expertise in remote sensing, intelligence, and national security has positioned him at the forefront of how geospatial data is used for strategic decision-making.As the former CEO of the United States Geospatial Intelligence Foundation (USGIF) and a senior leader at the National ...
A seasoned leader in geomatics and Earth Observation with two decades of experience in the federal government, Eric Loubier has vast expertise in developing and implementing national geomatics and Earth observation strategies. In his talk, Eric will explore the integration of AI with Earth observation, and how this powerful combination is transforming Canada’s approach to addressing critical national issues like climate change, natural resource management, urban planning, and disaster response.

Spatial data and related technologies have long powered the disciplines of geomatics (and its many names likes geospatial, hydrospatial) and buiilding information management. These disciplines have enabled people to better understand the natural world, the built infrastructure we place upon it, and, increasingly, the relationships between the two. The various goods and services provided by these different "spatial" communities has been global in nature and have provided eco...
The convergence of generative artificial intelligence and geospatial technology is transforming how we validate and ensure the quality of location-based data. This talk explores how AWS is enabling new approaches to geospatial data validation through the power of generative AI, which helps public and private sector organizations achieve their sustainability missions.As we operate in a world with more earth observation data being generated everyday, the planet is imaged daily and, with ...
Digital Twins hold enormous potential for the buildings and infrastructure sectors, but their implementation faces key challenges. What is a Digital Twin? The industry lacks a clear consensus, leading to misinformation and confusion. While Digital Twins can scale, not every project requires every possible capability—so how do we manage this effectively? More importantly, the industry is not ready—foundational work in data standards, interoperability, and governance is still needed.In r...
Foundation models represent a transformative shift in the utilization of EO data, historically limited by data complexity, and the manual preparation and analysis required to employ the data. By using foundation models with forthcoming AI-ready EO datasets, users will be able to efficiently develop solutions for diverse sustainability applications without extensive labeling efforts. This approach greatly expands the practical value and accessibility of EO data, driving innovations across envi...
