Opening Remarks by GeoIgnite founder Jonathan MurphyKeynote address: Geospatial Opportunities in COVID TimesGeospatial capacity has been helpful in providing answers to Canadians during a time where nothing seems normal anymore. At the forefront of tracking, reporting and managing the response to the COVID crisis are geospatial tools, data and leadership. Natural Resources Canada’s Canada Centre for Mapping and Earth Observation supported the Government of Canada’s response b...
Strategic Geospatial for a Complex WorldWhere humans move and landscapes change there is value. That’s geospatial. This talk is about how to think strategically about geospatial technology in an increasingly complex world.In particular, we will focus on canada’s strengths, and how we might inject novel geospatial technology into new markets
GIS users’ numbers are expanding around the world. It is now possible to find a GIS use in every field and to optimize their success. Discover how Business Geografic work throughout all fields to offer a new and modern approach to use Geografic Information Systems. Wheter your need are the one of an expanding business, a wide world telecom company or an official government entity, find out how we can help you vizualise your data and improve your process.
Geospatial and location technologies is present and continues to expand its reach in many sectors. Much of the current digital transformation taking place globally is built upon geospatial foundations. In this open panel discussion, our experts will discuss the latest developments and challenges facing the Canadian and global geospatial sector and what the future holds.

In recognition of the increasing costs and risk due to flooding, the Government of Canada is investing in flood mapping as part of the Government’s commitment to build safer and more resilient communities. Flood maps are critical for the public to understand their flood risks, and the availability of up to date flood hazard maps are key to strengthening the resilience of Canadian communities to overland flooding. Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) has been working in collaboration to advance...
Abstract A fundamental shift in the geospatial industry has occurred over recent years. Modern remote sensing technology has been developed at PCI Geomatics and in Canada through advanced research through partnerships with private industry, academia, and government researchers. Ubiquitous access to openly accessible earth observation data, cloud computing infrastructures and international collaboration have created opportunities to increase downstream access to inf...

Our planet is in flux: pandemics, climate change, inequality. This talk will explore the ideas of "planetary-scale" as it pertains to the geospatial community’s work. We will be looking at how we need planetary-scale thinking to address the planetary-scale problems we are now being challenged with. We don’t have a “Planet B", so how can geospatial technology be used to ethically approach some of the most pressing issues our species have collectively faced? &...
