Geo Connect Asia will celebrate its fifth edition on 9-10 April 2025 at the Sands Expo and Convention Centre, Marina Bay Sands, Singapore. The event will again take place in conjunction with Digital Construction Asia, Drones & Uncrewed Asia, and Marine & Hydro Asia.

According to the organiser, Geo Connect Asia looks to grow its regional visitor footprint through multiple initiatives. The growing awareness of and appetite for geospatial and location-based solutions across the region and beyond is driving a new economy.

Building on an attendance of 2,730 visitors at the March 2024 event, a target number of 3,200 visitors is being forecast for Geo Connect Asia 2025, with a growing participation by international delegates and visitors. This annual event is organised by Montgomery Asia, and supported by the Singapore Land Authority (SLA).

The organiser said visits to leading organisations across the ASEAN region are generating strong interest as the application of new technologies to geospatial-based data provides accuracy and predictability in addressing critical issues. As a region prone to challenges and with a population exceeding 600 million, ASEAN nations have experienced 15% of the world’s disasters since 2012, some 1,900 occurrences. Building resilience into critical infrastructure planning is driving demand for new initiatives by government agencies and business.

The co-location of Geo Connect Asia with Digital Construction Asia, Drones & Uncrewed Asia, and Marine & Hydro Asia threads a platform for industry crossovers and a platform for data focused solutions. With the theme ‘Geospatial driven impacts: underground, land and sea to sky’, the 2025 event will comprise a series of conferences, including Geo Autonomy Summit, APAC Earth Observation Forum, Digital Underground Connect and Asian Aerial Mapping Forum.

Pre-event registration is now open. Super early bird discounts for conference registration are available until 20 December 2024.
