Our speakers have big ideas. They’re the ones who aren’t afraid to push the boundaries of the traditional geospatial industry. If that’s you, we’d love to hear from you.
THE PROGRAM
The 2026 theme, Mapping the Unseen, challenges the boundaries of geographic understanding by exploring how we capture, analyze, and apply data beyond traditional sight. From invisible wavelengths and biological signals to deep ocean mapping and underground utilities, NORTH51 brings together over 100 global leaders in geospatial technology. Attendees will engage in discussions on the transformative power of emerging technologies including AI, IoT, and business process innovation, discovering the unseen patterns that shape our world.
The People Panel
The People Panel at NORTH51 explores the unseen ways geospatial technologies are transforming human behavior and shaping societies worldwide. From advanced aerial detection improving pipeline safety to remote sensing uncovering invisible greenhouse gas emissions, these innovations are influencing how industries operate, communities plan, and individuals interact with their environments. As geospatial data becomes more integrated into decision-making, it is changing how we understand risk, sustainability, and resilience on a global scale. This discussion will highlight the profound yet often unnoticed ways these technologies are reshaping the world and the lives of those within it.
