All Systems Launched – Geo Week 2023 Announces Five Strategic Event Partnerships | Feb. 13-15, 2022 | Denver

Portland, Maine, USA – Tuesday, December 13, 2022 - Organizers of Geo Week, the premier event that champions the coming together of geospatial technologies and the built world, have announced five strategic partnerships established for the 2023 event.

As part of this collaboration, the following will actively participate in Geo Week, taking place February 13-15, 2023, in Denver, Colorado, USA:

1. ASPRS (American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing)
2. ISPRS (International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing)
3. MAPPS (Management Association for Private Photogrammetric Surveyors)
4. USIBD (United States Institute for Building Documentation), and
5. WGIC (The World Geospatial Industry Council)

“We’re honored that these esteemed organizations have chosen to partner with Geo Week,” said Lee Corkhill, Geo Week Event Director. “From collaborating on key conference content and providing exclusive training, to showcasing the technical capabilities of our vendors, these partnerships strengthen and advance the geospatial and built world communities by providing additional expertise and industry advocacy to the event.”

ASPRS (American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing)

Each year, professionals working with photogrammetry, remote sensing, and GIS gather at the ASPRS Annual Conference for technical workshops, education sessions, awards recognizing excellence, and ASPRS committee meetings. The ASPRS Annual Conference started taking place with International Lidar Mapping Forum, now Geo Week, in 2018.

“Geo Week brings together the most important and longstanding annual conferences in the aerial survey, remote sensing, and mapping profession- that being the ASPRS Annual Conference and what was previously known as the International Lidar Mapping Forum, now Geo Week,” said Karen Schuckman, Executive Director of ASPRS. “It gathers the brain trust of sensor manufacturers, software developers, systems integrators, scientific researchers, and government agency leadership who are responsible for basically everything important happening in photogrammetry, lidar, and UAS-based mapping.”

In addition to the technical conference, these exclusive ASPRS workshops will be taking place at Geo Week:

1. Preparation for ASPRS Certification
2. Practical Approach to Using the ASPRS Positional Accuracy Standards for Digital Geospatial Data
3. Professional Mapping Using Drones
4. Airborne Bathymetric Lidar
5. Making Sense of Geiger-mode Lidar
6. Using ArcGIS Image for ArcGIS Online to Process and Analyze Imagery in the Cloud

ISPRS (International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing)

“For the first time ever, Diversified Communications is collaborating with ISRPS to develop a session on Photogrammetry at Geo Week 2023,” said Lena Halounova, President of ISPRS. “ISPRS is the International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing, a non-governmental organization devoted to the development of international cooperation for the advancement of photogrammetry, remote sensing and geospatial sciences and their applications.

Its members are national societies and government agencies, regional organizations and both national and international firms involved in these topics. ISPRS is organized in five technical commissions and is heavily involved in fostering and managing leading-edge research across the globe. The Geo Week session, scheduled for Tuesday, February 14, is being finalized and will include reviews of the latest research by several ISPRS leaders.”

USIBD's Laser Scanning Hub & Showdown is comprised of networking and knowledge-sharing and will include engaging demonstrations on the exhibit floor where conference participants will have a chance to learn about the newest tools, ask questions of vendors, and evaluate the capabilities and limitations of the technology.

On Monday, February 13, leading laser scanner manufacturers will scan the Exhibit Floor allowing spectators to see reality capture tech in action. On Tuesday, February 14, manufacturers’ scanned data will be processed and visualized by leading software vendors. On Wednesday, February 15, the data, normalized by USIBD for side-by-side comparisons, will be presented in the Exhibit Hall Theater from 11:00AM – 12:30PM. USIBD will also engage participants in a fun, exciting contest with prizes.
