Registration is now open for WGIC Horizons 2026, the flagship event of the World Geospatial Industry Council (WGIC). Scheduled on June 2, 2026, at 8 Bishopsgate in London, UK, Horizons 2026 will bring together leaders from across the geospatial industry and beyond for a focused day of conversations on geospatial innovation in the age of AI, strategy, policy, and collaboration.
Horizons reflects the clear shift in the expanding role of geospatial. No longer a specialist capability operating at the edges of industries, geospatial is now foundational to how infrastructure is planned, how cities function, and how decisions are made. From satellites and sensors to cloud, edge technologies, and artificial intelligence, location intelligence helps organizations connect the physical and digital worlds, anticipate risk, respond faster, and build greater resilience.
The theme for Horizons 2026, “Where Geospatial Powers Infrastructure, Cities, and Decisions,” captures the growing importance of location intelligence across sectors. As infrastructure networks, urban systems, supply chains, climate risks, and digital services become more connected, understanding relationships between places, assets, people, and decisions is becoming essential.
Through the day, Horizons 2026 will explore key themes including infrastructure and city systems, cross-sector collaboration, future ready cities, AI, sensing and connectivity, geospatial in every workflow, and policy, governance, and standards. These discussions will look at how geospatial reveals and strengthens interdependencies, supports climate resilience, enables next-generation services, and helps organizations manage complexity at scale.
Following the success of WGIC Horizons 2025 in Denver, the event now moves to London at a defining moment for the industry. The inaugural Horizons 2025 brought together more than 130 attendees at the Denver Art Museum in Colorado for an intimate, high-energy exploration of the geospatial industry’s most exciting innovations and future trajectories.
As WGIC continues to advance geospatial in everything and geospatial for everyone, Horizons 2026 will provide a timely platform for meaningful dialogue, practical insight, and new connections.
