The search starts now – entries are open to speak at GEO Business 2026.
Visionaries, innovators, and boundary-pushers from across geospatial are invited to take the stage at Excel London, 3-4 June 2026. Over 6,100 professionals and 110+ leading brands will be there to celebrate the advancements in the field and champion one thing: the power – and future – of location.
“We want to hear from people with powerful ideas; thinkers and doers who can energise, inform, and inspire our audience.” says Event Manager, Annie Reardon-Smith.
“If you’re shaping the future of geospatial technology, using location data to solve real-world problems, or addressing the industry’s most pressing issues, we want to hear about it.”
Why take the mic?
GEO Business isn’t just another industry event – it’s where the future of geospatial gets mapped out. With 150+ expert sessions, demos, workshops, debates, and real-world case studies, it’s where bold ideas and brilliant minds connect to push the boundaries of geospatial innovation.
Previous speaker Andrew Evans, Senior Product Manager, Topcon, noted:
“There’s a lot going on – it’s interesting to see. What I’m really impressed with is the quality of speakers and a well thought out selection of presentations.”
Fellow speaker, Dr Iris Kramer, Founder and CEO of ArchAI, highlighted the importance of exposure: “We got loads and loads of people coming to our talk and lots of interesting conversations from that, so it’s been really great.”
