The GoGeomatics Expo 2025 returns to Calgary from November 3–5, bringing together Canada’s geospatial and geomatics communities for three days of national dialogue, networking, and collaboration.

One of the standout tracks this year is AEC Geomatics: Chaos to Clarity, a focused program tackling the intersection of geomatics and utility engineering. With infrastructure investment at record levels, the session will explore how the sector can reduce risk, improve underground safety, and align standards to deliver projects more effectively.

Chaired by Steve Slusarenko, Director of the Subsurface Utility Map Data Exchange (SUMDEx), and Peter Srajer, Chief Scientist at ProStar Geocorp, the session brings together leading voices who are working to solve real-world challenges in AEC and geomatics integration.

Adding to the significance of this track, Bryn Fosburgh, President at Trimble and a trusted voice in the field, will deliver a special keynote address.

As Canada ramps up infrastructure delivery, this session will provide a critical forum to discuss:

• How to improve the visibility and safety of underground utilities.
• The evolving role of geomatics in utility engineering.
• Aligning standards to reduce uncertainty and avoid costly errors.

The two-day Chaos to Clarity program runs November 4–5, featuring keynotes, technical talks, and leadership panels.
