AGI Northern Ireland Annual Conference 2026

Moving beyond the traditional boundaries of our sector to a future where Geospatial, AI, and Data Science converge to solve
real world problems

AGI Northern Ireland’s premier geospatial event returns on Thursday, 25 June 2025 at Riddel Hall, Belfast under the theme for this year’s conference is “Connected Intelligence: The Future of Place”.

  • Discover the Power of Convergence: See how “horizontal” thinking is breaking down silos, allowing location data to empower finance, engineering, and government like never before.
  • Geospatial Data Foundations: Trusted data is the foundation for GIS. Dive into the critical role of data science, robust data governance, and spatial analytics in ensuring the future of GIS is accurate, reliable, and truly intelligent.
  • Meet the Future of Tech: Explore how AI, Digital Twins, and “conversational interfaces” are not replacing us, but augmenting our abilities. Turning complex data into clear, actionable decisions.
  • Bridge the Skills Gap: Learn how we are evolving from “digital surveyors” to data-savvy leaders, ready to wield the next generation of tools with confidence and trust.

 

Geospatial is no longer a vertical industry it’s the horizontal foundation of everything. Join us at #AGINI26 as we explore Connected Intelligence: The Future of Place. Discover how AI and location data are building a smarter, safer Northern Ireland.
