Technological advancements are turning the world into an intelligent, instrumented and interconnected place. With these changes come amazing opportunities for society - for every business, institution and individual. Forward-thinking leaders in business, government and civil society around the world are capturing the potential of smarter systems to achieve economic growth, near-term efficiency, sustainable development and societal progress. The theme will address the ways geospatial technology extends the ability to harness data that gives these leaders their competitive advantage in the era of "smart" to overcome the complexity of the challenges that the world is facing.

Revolving around the theme “geoSMART Planet: Resources + Infrastructure & YOU!” the conference will delve into the various innovative and integrative systems supported by geospatial technologies for enabling better, efficient use of resources, organised development of infrastructure and last but not least, enabling the common man to live a smart and easy life.

Geospatial World Forum shall provide opportunities to geospatial users, policy makers, technology providers, researchers, academicians, and students, to present the latest technology trends, case studies, research work and technical papers to the global audience.

On 9th May, Friday in Hall 2 between 13:30 and 17:30 there will be a discussion on GeoDisaster.
