Bringing together practitioners, policymakers, researchers, and industry leaders, AGI Scotland 2026 will explore how geospatial data, tools and insight can help Scotland make better land and place-based decisions-supporting sustainable growth, climate resilience, and inclusive communities.
We are delighted to have Andy Wightman attend as our key note speaker. Andy is a former MSP with strong and enduring interests in ensuring clarity and fairness in land ownership.

Richard will explore what this means for Scotland and how the six transformative forces identified within the report are shaping the geospatial sector; the Data Imperative, AI Integration Challenge, Infrastructure Evolution, Collaboration Imperative, Earth Systems Revolution, and Skills Revolution.
Joining them on the 24 February, will be Peter Green and Magda Low presenting on how Crown Estate Scotland are using the National Geographic Database to enhance the management of it’s rural estates and Professor Caroline Nichol presenting the University of Edinburgh’s ambitious peatland restoration and forest expansion programme, using cutting-edge aerial geospatial data to track carbon removal, biodiversity gains, and community benefits across Scotland.
