The Geospatial World Forum (GWF) and Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) Summits will be held from 27 April to 1st May in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
The registration is available in this page.
This year’s Conference theme will be “Sovereignty, Economy & Society”.
In today’s interconnected and interdependent world, sovereignty is no longer limited to political boundaries—it extends to data, infrastructure, and digital autonomy. At GWF 2026, we explore how nations and communities are asserting spatial sovereignty to secure their interests, enhance governance, and define the rules of the digital era.
At the same time, geospatial intelligence is reshaping economies—from Geospatial Knowledge Infrastructure to space and geospatial sovereignty, and from digital supply chains to utilities and networks, AEC, agriculture, defence, and intelligence. As the global economy becomes increasingly data-driven, geospatial knowledge is emerging as a cornerstone for inclusive, sustainable, and resilient growth.
And at the heart of it all lies society—informed citizens, empowered communities, and equitable access to public services. Whether it’s climate resilience, disaster response, land rights, health, or urban planning, geospatial infrastructure is enabling a more transparent, participatory, and resilient social contract.
WFEO President Seng Chuan Tan will present in the Main Stage Plenary Panel Session on ‘Geo-Technical Engineering and GeoBIM: Advancing Resilient and Sustainable Infrastructure’ on 29th April and deliver Keynote Address in the AEC Summit on 30th April.
