SUMSF 2024
junho 25, 2024, 11:00 AM - junho 26, 2024, 4:00 PM EDT
The Subsurface Utility Mapping Strategy Forum (SUMSF) is being held on June 25, 2024 from 11am to 4:00pm EST. This is a virtual conference intended to bring together individuals and organizations who wish to share information about and contribute to improvements in the mapping of underground infrastructure. The priority use cases for better underground mapping is reducing damage to underground utilities during construction and aiding construction efficiency. Another use case that is rapidly gaining interest among utilities, telecoms, municipalities and even nations is subsurface digital twins. Digital twins of underground infrastructure are living models of real-world objects. These require a city-scale platform and tools that enable a large number of data providers and users, including construction workers in the field, developers of analytics and simulations, and citizens to collaborate in maintaining and using the models.
The SUMSF conference is open to individuals and organizations who wish to contribute to progress in underground utility mapping. Presentations will focus on innovative strategies involving subsurface digital twins. Topics will include, legislation, regulation, business best practices, new technologies, and training and education for improving mapping of underground utilities.
