Geo Sessions has become one of the premier online events for professionals pushing the boundaries of geospatial technology. In 2024, more than 5,300 registrants from 159 countries came together to learn, share, and explore real-world applications using lidar, SAR, and spectral analytics. This year, NV5 Geospatial is setting a new benchmark, spotlighting the technologies that are actively reshaping infrastructure, energy, agriculture, and disaster response.
“Last year’s event proved there’s a huge appetite for actionable geospatial knowledge,” said Dan Gruidel, Director, NV5 Geospatial. “This year, we’re diving deeper into artificial intelligence, thermal, and hyperspectral applications —not as buzzwords, but as tools already transforming how organizations operate.”

What’s New in 2025
- Artificial Intelligence in Action: From lidar classification to SAR change detection, AI is cutting analysis timelines and putting answers in decision makers’ hands faster than ever.
- Thermal for Operational Awareness: Track critical infrastructure performance, utility corridors, and environmental change with powerful thermal insights.
- Hyperspectral for Deeper Insight: Uncover the hidden details like vegetation stress, mineral composition, or environmental signals that traditional sensors miss.
