1. Brand new technology

GeoIgnite 2020 is taking place during an exciting time of transformation in the geospatial sector. The Geospatial Security, Machine Learning, Remote Sensing, Policy, Privacy, Big Data, and Smart Cities are all part of an accelerating industry. GeoIgnite is excited to be presenting the latest innovations, programs, and the next generation of disruptive geospatial technologies.

2. Business-to-government (B2G)& government-to-government (G2G) networking

This event focuses on the intersections within our sector. Join us as we break down the silos and share with each other in the spirit of creating a Canadian geospatial ecosystem. We are including lunches, breaks, cocktail hours, lounge spaces, and a networking social to ensure lots of opportunities to mingle with other professionals, innovators, and decision-makers.

3. Sector Leadership

GeoIgnite is comprised of leaders from government and the location-technology industry. The speakers, sponsors, and panel guests we have chosen for the event are no different. GeoIgnite will host traditional geospatial stakeholders as well as up-and-coming organizations and start-ups that are promoting location as part of their products and services.

4. Decision makers from government

Don’t miss out! For GeoIgnite 2019 we were joined by Public Services and Procurement Canada, Agriculture Canada, Department of National Defence, Environment and Climate Change Canada, Natural Resources Canada, Statistics Canada, Department of Fisheries and Oceans and Treasury Board Secretariat. We are certain the participant list for 2020 will be just as amazing.

5. B2B opportunities

As an industry, we face barriers to collaboration because of fragmentation. By including everyone in the land-technology sector from earth imagery to mapping and data analystics, GeoIgnite will be the best place to network and talk shop with other members of industry and owners, position yourself in the sector, and build your client base.
