Data to Decisions: Advancing the Roadmap for Trusted Geospatial Data

Feb 24 2027

3:30 PM - 4:30 PM MT

Grand Ballroom F, H, J

AI is transforming how geospatial data is produced and used, but what makes it reliable enough to act on?

Join WGIC for an interactive panel exploring Data to Decisions: Rebuilding Trust in Decision-Grade Geospatial Data. The session will introduce the report’s key findings and open a discussion on its recommendations and roadmap:

  • What makes data decision-grade? Explore the foundations of trust: provenance, metadata, governance and accountability.
  • What should happen first? Discuss priority recommendations and practical steps organisations can take now.
  • What stands in the way? Examine implementation challenges, costs and responsibilities across the data chain.
  • Where must industry act together? Identify opportunities for shared practices, standards and collaboration.
  • How do we advance the roadmap? Contribute perspectives to help shape WGIC’s next steps.

Bringing together voices from across the geospatial value chain, this session invites participants to help turn the report’s recommendations into practice.
