Portland, Maine, USA – Organizers of Geo Week, the premier conference and trade show for geospatial and mapping professionals, have announced that Burkhard Boeckem, Chief Technology Officer at Hexagon, will deliver a keynote address titled “Precision and Intelligence: Powering the Next Era of Geospatial Innovation” on Tuesday, February 17, 2026, from 9:00–10:00 a.m. MST. Geo Week 2026 takes place February 16–18, 2026, at the Colorado Convention Center in Denver, CO.

In an increasingly connected and data-driven world, the fusion of precision measurement and intelligent systems is redefining how physical environments are designed, built, and managed. In this highly anticipated keynote, Boeckem will examine how geospatial intelligence—powered by precision data and amplified by AI—is transforming industries including infrastructure, construction, urban planning, and environmental monitoring.

“Geo Week brings together the pioneers shaping the future of geospatial innovation, and I’m excited to join this year’s conversation,” said Burkhard Boeckem, CTO, Hexagon. “I look forward to sharing how the convergence of precision data, AI, and autonomy is transforming how we understand and interact with our physical world—turning vision into operational reality.”

Attendees will gain insight into how next-generation technologies such as autonomous reality capture, robotics, sensor fusion, and intelligent edge computing are creating dynamic digital ecosystems where the physical and digital continuously inform one another in real time.

The keynote will showcase how transformative capabilities—including precision mapping at any scale, autonomous workflows, and AI-powered digital twins—have evolved from aspirational concepts into practical, operational tools. Boeckem will also offer a strategic look at how geospatial precision and intelligence will continue to empower engineers, surveyors, city planners, and innovators across sectors.

Boeckem was appointed Chief Technology Officer of Hexagon in 2020 after serving as CTO of Hexagon Geosystems since 2015, where he oversaw technology, innovation, and product development across all Geosystems business units. In his current role, Boeckem leads the development of autonomous technology solutions shaping the future of geospatial intelligence. (Read Boeckem’s full biography)
