While the geospatial community has long discussed the challenges of workforce development, the time for high-level conversation has passed. This interactive session moves beyond identifying problems to providing concrete, actionable solutions for professionals at every level. Drawing on the latest data from a new industry report, we will examine current workforce scenarios and provide direct guidance tailored to your role.
Geospatial teams do work that quietly holds up everything around them, and then struggle to explain why it deserves a budget line. Executives, elected officials, and clients rarely want to hear about accuracy standards or workflow improvements. They want to know what problem got solved and what it was worth. Attendees choose a table based on the challenge closest to their own situation, from justifying a program renewal to defending headcount to pricing a service to convincing a skeptical department to fund something new. Each table is led by someone who has had that conversation from both sides, and the discussion is driven by the problems participants bring with them. Expect frank talk about what has failed as much as what has worked. Come with a real situation you are trying to move forward and leave with language you can use, a clearer sense of what your leadership actually cares about, and a set of peers who have been through the same thing.

Airports are among the most complex and continuously changing environments a geospatial professional can work in, where active operations, aging infrastructure, restricted access, and ongoing construction all raise the stakes for accurate, reliable spatial data. This session brings together practitioners applying reality capture, mobile mapping, and GIS to meet those challenges head-on, showing how modern workflows document existing conditions safely and turn the results into tools that support real decisions. Presenters will explore the full arc from field collection to finished product, including capturing high-resolution data in active operational settings, developing accurate models and imagery products, and building the applications that put authoritative spatial data into the hands of the teams who rely on it. Just as important, the session looks at what happens after the initial deliverable, examining how consistent standards, governance, and integration allow spatial data to support asset management, planning, maintenance, and day-to-day operations over the long term.
Gaussian splatting has moved quickly from a research curiosity to one of the most talked-about developments in reality capture, promising photorealistic 3D scenes rendered at remarkable speed. But between the striking demos and everyday production work, a real question remains: is this a tool ready for the job, or a technology still finding its footing? This session digs into that question through a mix of real-world case studies and forward-looking applications, showing both where Gaussian splats are already delivering value and where their potential is still taking shape. Presenters will share practical lessons on capture, processing, accuracy, and file management, and weigh splats against established approaches like photogrammetry and point clouds. The goal is a grounded, clear-eyed look at what these methods can do today, what they might do tomorrow, and how close they are to earning a dependable place in geospatial workflows.
While geospatial technology captures the world above ground in ever greater detail, one of the most critical layers of infrastructure remains largely invisible and poorly documented. Underground utilities are essential to nearly every construction, engineering, and asset management project, yet the records and markings teams rely on are inaccurate far more often than the industry likes to admit, creating real risk before a shovel ever hits the ground. This session brings together practitioners working to close that gap, showing how modern subsurface technology and disciplined data practices replace guesswork with verifiable information. Presenters will explore the full picture, from the field technologies that accurately map buried utilities and reduce uncertainty before excavation, to the workflows that fold subsurface data into GIS and digital mapping alongside everything captured above ground, along with what it takes to keep that information trustworthy across the full lifecycle of an asset.
