YellowScan to host sixth edition of its LiDAR Convention

An immersive programme of knowledge exchange, peer networking and forward-looking debate on the trends shaping the future of UAV and mobile Lidar mapping – that’s what industry professionals can expect at YellowScan’s LiDAR Convention. The sixth edition of this two-day event is being held at thecamp, a distinctive venue near Marseille, France, on 15 and 16 April.

Real-world innovation takes centre stage, with expert-led presentations and case studies showcasing how Lidar is being deployed in projects around the world – from coastal bathymetry and UAV infrastructure mapping to urban planning and environmental monitoring.

Hands-on demos and expert perspectives

Those who attended the previous edition will know what to expect. The fifth edition, held in April 2024 near Montpellier, set a high bar, drawing a diverse international audience for two packed days of presentations, live technology demonstrations and lively panel discussions. Sessions took attendees on a journey across the globe, with real-world deployments spanning shallow coastal waters in Japan, archaeological investigations in Romania, flood damage assessment in Vermont, powerline inspections in Austria and glacier mapping in Alaska, underlining just how broad the application landscape for drone-based Lidar has become. A panel discussion on the future of UAV mapping put topics such as beyond visual line of sight operations and the growing role of artificial intelligence firmly on the agenda, reflecting the wider forces reshaping the industry.

Beyond the technical programme, the convention offers attendees a valuable opportunity to engage directly with the YellowScan team, explore the latest developments in the CloudStation and Lidar portfolio, and gain firsthand insight into where the market is headed in the years ahead.

YellowScan has earned a strong reputation for designing, developing and building Lidar solutions for professionals across a wide range of sectors, including surveying, civil engineering, environmental research, forestry, archaeology, industrial inspection and mining.
