Session tracks
We've organized four tracks of educational and inspiring sessions highlighting openness and interoperability:
Digital twin technologies are revolutionizing the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industries. This track dives into how visualizing and analyzing projects in a geospatial context enhances collaboration, boosts efficiency, and reduces costs. Learn from real-world case studies, innovative workflows, and the integration of technologies like BIM, IoT, and simulation to create intelligent and operational digital twins.
If you’re working with design data, infrastructure at scale, or smart cities, this is your space.
The future of geospatial is being built right now. This track focuses on the latest advancements in data capture, processing, and visualization. Discover new insights on AI and machine learning, advanced data streaming and visualization techniques, emerging technologies like WebXR, and emerging standards like 3D Tiles 2.0. Whether you are working with photogrammetry, LiDAR, or other 3D data sources, this track will provide valuable insights into the future of 3D. For attendees interested in performance, scalability, and what’s coming next, this is the track for you.
Open geospatial technology is a critical tool for analyzing our planet, monitoring global activities, and transforming orbital space. This track will feature developers who are leveraging 3D geospatial data and game engines to support users in the most demanding domains. Learn how these technologies are being used in mission planning, satellite operations, simulation and training, and the visualization of complex aerospace events. Get an inside look at planetary exploration, including missions to the Moon and Mars.
The teams behind Cesium, iTwin, and 3D Tiles will share their latest work and roadmap. This track will provide a deep dive into the technologies that power the open geospatial ecosystem. Learn about the latest and upcoming product updates, enhancements in 3D Tiles and glTF, and new ways to leverage design data. Experts will explore the latest technologies, including Gaussian splats and AI-assisted development, that are enabling new applications and advancing the state of the art in 3D geospatial. For innovators who want to go deeper with Cesium and iTwin and influence what comes next, don’t miss these sessions.
