Set in the heart of Canada’s capital, this networking event and panel discussion takes place in Ottawa’s historic ByWard Market, one of the country’s oldest and most vibrant districts. The Rainbow Bistro, a legendary live music venue known for supporting Canadian talent, provides the perfect setting for an evening of insightful discussion and professional networking. The global alliances that have shaped international relations for decades are now being redefined, and the geospatial sector must adapt to this evolving world order. This high-level panel will bring together top industry leaders to discuss the implications of geopolitical shifts on the geospatial field and how the industry can remain resilient and innovative. Key discussion topics include: The role of geospatial technology in economic and national security How the industry can support environmental resilience The impact of international collaboration and shifting alliances Strategies for adapting to global challenges with geospatial solutions As the first networking event for exhibitors, speakers, and participants of GeoIgnite 2025, this evening offers a valuable opportunity to make connections, exchange ideas, and engage in discussions that will shape the future of the geospatial industry.

The role of GIS in almost all organizations is evolving from a technical system to an integrative, enterprise-wide capability that provides a unique perspective to solve many business challenges. This half-day workshop is intended to help existing GIS professionals, and those new to GIS in a management position, transition from a technical "What and How" focus on GIS technology to a strategic, value-oriented "Who and Why" mindset around what a GIS can contribute to the organization. The workshop will explore the role of GIS in addressing organizational business needs outside of the traditional "Mapping" view and will provide participants tools and strategies for effectively communicating GIS value to stakeholders.

This open forum invites all attendees to engage in discussions on Canada’s path toward greater self-reliance in the geospatial sector, particularly in light of emerging trade conflicts, including the recent U.S. tariffs, and evolving global geopolitical shifts. The forum will explore strategies to strengthen Canada’s technological capabilities and reduce reliance on external sources, with a focus on fostering innovation, security, and growth.

Canada's Centre for Mapping and Earth Observation (CCMEO) and GoGeomatics Canada have invited Canadian students to use GEO.ca, the definitive source for Canada's open geospatial information, to develop innovative solutions for a specific challenge scenario in the months leading up to GeoIgnite. The results of the 2025 Hackathon will be announced at GeoIgnite. The presentation will include an overview of GEO.ca and the purpose and challenge of the Hackathon, followed by presentations from the top three individuals or teams to showcase their solutions. The event will conclude with the announcement of the winning individual or team. Join us to learn about the innovative solutions developed by talented Canadian students! This is a unique opportunity to see creative applications of geospatial data and technologies to address real-world challenges.

Join us this May for the Canada Forum, where we’ll delve into two essential topics: Canadian Geospatial Data Infrastructure (CGDI) and the integration of Building Information Modeling (BIM) with Geographic Information Systems (GIS). This event will bring together thought leaders from industry, academia, Indigenous organizations, and government sectors to explore how these technologies can transform Canada’s built environment. We'll also discuss the role of OGC standards in fostering interoperability and innovation within these fields.
