GoGeomatics Expo 2025

PROGRAMS

Building Information Modeling (BIM)
The BIM session at the Expo will explore the convergence of BIM with geomatics, showcasing how these technologies are reshaping infrastructure planning, design, and management. From integrating geospatial data into 3D models to improving collaboration across construction and engineering projects, this program will highlight cutting-edge innovations and real-world applications driving efficiency and sustainability in the built environment.

AEC Geomatics: Chaos to Clarity
This program will focus on advancements in utility engineering. Topics include effective utility data collection, mapping, and modeling techniques, critical infrastructure protection, and the latest sensor technologies. The integration of AI and machine learning to enhance data analysis and adherence to ASCE and CSA standards will also be covered, providing attendees with a comprehensive view of this critical field.

Geomatics for the Public Good
In an era of increasing demand for government transparency and efficiency, this program will serve as a platform for public servants to showcase successful implementations of geomatics technologies. Featuring presentations from various government departments, the program will demonstrate how geospatial innovations address modern challenges, improve public welfare, and contribute to better governance.

Reality Capture & Digital Twins
The Reality Capture Program invites experts to present advancements in reality capture technologies and solutions. Topics will include innovative applications of LiDAR, such as terrestrial, kinematic, human-carried, and robotic scanners, as well as mobile mapping systems. Photogrammetry techniques, including UAV-based and other innovative applications, will also be explored. This program aims to share knowledge, showcase groundbreaking projects, and drive the development of reality capture technologies across industries.

Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems
As a vital tool for geospatial professionals, this program will explore the latest innovations in RPAS technology, applications, and regulatory frameworks. Attendees will learn about emerging trends in drone usage, including mapping, surveying, and environmental monitoring, as well as their impact on geospatial workflows.

Earth Observation
This program will highlight the transformative power of Earth Observation data and technologies in supporting climate resilience and sustainable growth. With Canada warming at twice the global average, this session will showcase how satellite data and geospatial intelligence are being used for environmental monitoring, resource management, and industrial sustainability.

ACTIVITIES

Networking Reception
Kick off the Expo with this exclusive networking event, offering the chance to connect with industry leaders, experts, and peers in a relaxed atmosphere. Enjoy delicious snacks and unwind with drinks from the cash bar.

GoGeomatics Meetup
Join us for a vibrant, free-to-attend networking event immediately following the day’s sessions. The GoGeomatics Meetup combines fun and professional interaction, featuring a cash bar, music, and plenty of opportunities to connect with fellow attendees.

The Canada Maps & Poster Gallery
"Canada Maps" is a collaborative effort between the Canadian Cartographic Association and GoGeomatics Canada, highlighting the impact of teamwork in advancing the field of cartography.
Located on the trade show floor, the gallery provides a platform for professionals and students alike to receive feedback, engage with peers, and gain recognition for their work. Such interactions are invaluable for personal and professional development.

Fast Pitches: Pitch the Press
One of the most exciting features of the Expo is the Fast Pitches: Pitch the Press program. Participants will have the opportunity to pitch their latest products, solutions, or breakthroughs, directly to a panel of media professionals and industry journalists. It is an excellent opportunity for companies—both established and startups to amplify their presence at the Expo, and gain valuable media exposure and potentially attracting attention from new partners, clients, and investors.

Award Program
The National Geomatics Awards recognize outstanding achievements in innovation, leadership, and public sector service, honoring those who are pushing the boundaries of technology. The awards process begins months ahead of the Expo. Nominations are open to the public, and after a thorough review, a list of finalists is announced. The GoGeomatics community then has the opportunity to vote for their choice of winners. The awards will be presented at the Expo, where the winners will be celebrated for their achievements.
