SUMMARY:28th Annual Geomatics Exposition at the University of Calgary
DESCRIPTION:The Geomatics Engineering Student Society (GESS) at the University of Calgary is proud to announce the upcoming 28th Annual Geomatics Exposition (Geo Expo 2026)\, scheduled for Thursday\, February 5\, 2026. \nAs one of Canada’s premier student-led geomatics networking events\, the Expo brings together students\, faculty\, and industry leaders for a full day of collaboration\, innovation\, and opportunity. The event continues its mission to strengthen ties between academia and the geospatial industry — fostering connections that help shape the next generation of geomatics professionals. \nThroughout the day\, participating organizations will have the opportunity to engage with undergraduate\, master’s\, and PhD students from the Geomatics Engineering program\, as well as other disciplines across the Schulich School of Engineering. The 2026 edition is expected to see record participation and increased engagement from across the Canadian geomatics community. \nAbout the Geomatics Exposition \nFounded nearly three decades ago by University of Calgary students\, the Geomatics Exposition has grown from a small departmental event into one of the most anticipated gatherings on the academic calendar. It remains a platform for knowledge sharing\, recruitment\, and innovation — celebrating the collaboration between academia and the geospatial industry. \nConnect with Us \nTo learn more about sponsorship opportunities or to confirm your participation in Geo Expo 2026\, please contact:\ngess.exposition@gmail.com\ngessucalgary.com \nOrganizing Committee:\nGrant Graza\, Expo Commissioner\nHady Ibrahim\, Expo Commissioner

SUMMARY:Spatial Knowledge and Information Canada 2026
DESCRIPTION:The 9th conference on Spatial Knowledge and Information (SKI) Canada will take place February 19-22\, 2026\, in Banff\, Alberta. Since 2008\, SKI has been the pre-eminent Canada-centric conference for geographic information science (and systems)\, spatial data science\, remote sensing\, geomatics and the geoweb research. The conference is aimed at researchers at all stages\, from undergraduates to retired faculty and all types of educational institutions\, from community colleges to universities and research institutes. SKI has been important to researchers\, allowing them to share their research ideas and identify potential graduate students. This has been a great place to highlight your research and perhaps ski as well. \nMore information on the conference is available at https://skiconference.ca. This year\, as in previous years\, we are inviting submissions on a range of topics such as papers and abstracts for peer-review and publication. Early career researchers and graduate students in particular are encouraged to apply. \nThe conference mixes practical and theoretical aspects of geographic information science. Come share your experiences in using GIS in academia in Canada and around the world. Learn from others on best practices and ways of accommodating different domains of knowledge. \nWe invite submissions on a range of topics including (but not limited to): \n\nGIScience\nRemote sensing\nSpatial Data Science\nGeomatics and Geomatics Engineering\nGeoAI\, spatial big data\, and machine learning\nParticipatory GIS\nSpatial qualitative and mixed methods\nGIS in health and epidemiology\nGIS in transportation\nGIS in hydrology\nGeoprivacy\nPlanning Support Systems and land-use planning\nDigital Earth and the Geospatial Web 2.0 (geoweb) (e.g.\, Google Earth\, Virtual Earth\, Google Maps) Research\nNeogeography\, Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI) and crowdsourcing\nGeovisualization and cybercartography\nSpatial Business applications\nSpatial statistics\nLocation based services\nGIS and spatial modeling in Earth Sciences\nUrban simulation and modelling\nComputer dimensions of GIS (e.g.\, data modelling)\nBig Data\, machine learning\, Geo AI\nSmart Cities & Artificial Intelligence\n\nWho should attend?  \nStudents of all levels (undergraduate\, masters\, and PhD) and researchers who identify as GIScientsts\, Spatial Data Scientists\, Remote Sensors\, Geomatics Researchers or GIS Applications users from across Canada. We invite participants from academia\, industry\, and government. We are particularly interested in students attending the conference so please share this call for papers within your departments. \nHow to participate  \nThere are three main avenues for researchers to contribute to the SKI 2026 conference: i) full paper submissions\, ii) abstract submissions for early-stage students\, and iii) faculty research synopses. \ni) Paper Submissions:  \nPapers can be up to 2000 words in length and a maximum of 10 pages (including figures and references). Each paper will be reviewed by the Program Committee and feedback will be provided to the authors. Accepted papers will be published in the SKI conference proceedings via Zenodo. In addition to gaining experience with the review process\, students should be aware that each paper is given a persistent identifier (DOI) and indexed\, which may be useful for their CV. \nDownload the paper template here  \nii) Abstract Submissions:  \nFor students who have been registered in their programs for less than six months (as of the deadline of abstract submission)\, we invite submission of a short abstract (200–300 words). Short abstracts will not be included in proceedings but are an opportunity to discuss and receive feedback from your peers. Short abstracts should include the research context\, goal\, methods\, anticipated results\, and expected impacts. Short abstract submissions must be accompanied by an email or later from the student’s supervisor indicating they have reviewed and approved the submission and confirmation that the student has been in their program of study for less than six months. If new students have sufficient results\, a comprehensive literature review or a well-developed methodology\, we encourage them to submit to the paper stream. \nDownload the abstract template here  \niii) Research Synopsis:  \nFaculty are alternatively invited to participate by providing a short research synopsis and a written summary of their research program. During the conference\, each faculty will give a 2-minute elevator pitch highlighting the general scope of their research and submit a 300-word summary that will be posted on the conference website (note: summaries will not be part of the peer-reviewed proceedings). \nImportant Dates  \nSubmission deadline: November 21 (End of day AOE) \nPaper notifications: December 19  \nCamera-ready version due: January 16  \nConference dates: February 19–22  \nSchedule  \nThe full conference event will be held from Thursday\, February 19 to Sunday\, February 22\, 2026. The conference begins with an icebreaker and social on Thursday night\, with paper presentations commencing Friday\, February 20 and continuing Saturday\, February 21. Further details will be posted following the submission deadline. \nStructure  \nThe conference will be structured as a series of plenary sessions: each hosted by a moderator. Conference sessions will be designed around a rapid-communication format successfully used in medicine\, neuroscience\, and other disciplines. Each presentation will be 5-10 minutes (depending on paper format) with a short\, shared opportunity for public questions. Additionally\, each evening of the conference will include a dinner reception offering ample time for interaction and discussion. The two dinner receptions will also include a keynote address (Friday) and a Conference photo “competition.” \nConference Location  \nThis year’s conference on Spatial Knowledge and Information Canada will be held at the Banff Park Lodge. A conference rate for guest rooms is available from Thursday through Saturday evenings.
