Jonathan Bailey
As a pioneering expert in GIS, BIM, CAD, and digital twins, I possess a unique ability to help organizations unlock major value from their big data streams through the use of cutting-edge location intelligence and geospatial technologies.
I play a key role in digital transformation by planning, developing, and deploying the people, processes, and technologies needed to capitalize on the untapped potential in the vast amounts of raw location data organizations are already collecting.
A conscientious and entrepreneurial leader, I’m known for diagnosing and solving difficult business and technical problems, and bring a seasoned background that includes a blend of systems design engineering, mentoring, and client relations.
My career highlights include:
❖ Overseeing the architecture of a multi-million-dollar IoT project in partnership with Canfor, Mosaic Forest Management, UBC, and the Government of Canada to develop and launch a forest machine connectivity solution.
❖ Running a consultancy that designed and delivered numerous innovative, high-quality GIS applications for clients in various industries, such as the successful transition to a new aeronautical information exchange model for NAV Canada.
❖ Leading the development, architecture, and integration of an award-winning digital twin application for the Department of National Defence that is used for battlefield planning and situational awareness by the Canadian Army.
❖ Developing key geocoding and address management functionality for ESRI’s flagship product, ArcGIS, and laid the foundation to becoming a top 0.1% global expert in the software.

We will demonstrate how this comprehensive digital r...
Monitoring large numbers of activities and assets from space has long been an aspirational “holy grail” for satellite remote sensing. However, lack of observational cadence, collection capacity, sufficient resolution, multisource capabilities and contextual understanding of monitored sites has meant that true monitoring has been limited to a handful of key facilities and mission use cases. Will we as an industry be able to overcome current challenges and turn site monitoring into a mainstream...
