Since the past few years, geospatial industry has seen major shift in its business models largely due to global demand of cloud-based and open-interoperable solutions. The advent of information technology and connectivity not only makes the world smaller, but creates stiff competition among industry players, especially in terms of exclusivity and quality of services. These fast-changing technology trends are cutting down gestation period and innovation life-span, resulting in profit vulnerability. How did the businesses respond? System integration and user-driven solutions became the new direction.
The 8th edition of internationally-acclaimed conference, Geospatial World Forum, aims to highlight the dynamic evolution of geospatial industry through its groundbreaking theme, Where’s the Money? [Disruptive Business Models]. “This theme allows the conference to take on the business perspective of geospatial industry today and its direction for the coming years. Future technology trends and the next big opportunities will be part of the servings,” says Annu Negi, Chief Operating Officer & Sr. Vice President – Outreach & Business Development at Geospatial Media & Communications, the conference organizer. It would also be an excellent platform to discuss the role of policy-makers, decision-makers, technical users, multilateral agencies and academia in commercialization of the technology, she adds.
Over the years, Geospatial World Forum is known as the only conference covering the entire spectrum of geospatial technologies, workflows, policies and practices in one global platform. The conference and exhibition receives in average 1200+ delegates from 80+ countries, hosting more than 30 thematic sessions and workshops with over 300 presentations annually.
