Climate change, earthquakes, floods, and other natural disasters; pollution, poaching, uncontrolled urbanization, and unchecked tourist development; armed conflict and war, pose major threats to both, cultural and natural heritage sites. Ongoing monitoring of these heritage sites is therefore necessary. However, doing it on-site becomes costly and sometimes difficult since the heritage site might be in an area of difficult access.

The purpose of this workshop is to bring state-of-the-art actors in EO for heritage together, to demonstrate to both the EO industry and the heritage audience that EO data and technology have achieved a level of advancement ready to support heritage activities in a wide variety of areas.

Focussing on responsible space for sustainability with a programme providing dedicated days for agencies, industry and science and academia. There is also a day dedicated to diversity. With networking events and opportunities including Welcome Reception, breakfasts, luncheons, Events and Gala Dinner it promises to be the event to attend for Astronauts and Space this year.

The United Nations Committee of Experts on Global Geospatial Information Management (UN-GGIM), in collaboration with the Government of México through Instituto Nacional de Estadística y Geografía (INEGI) will convene the Seventh High-level Forum on United Nations Global Geospatial Information Management with the theme "Accelerating Implementation: Achieving Resilience" in México City from 8 - 10 October 2024. This seventh edition of UN-GGIM's High-level Forums will continue UN-GGIM's regular high-level, multi-stakeholder discussions on global geospatial information management, through the convening of global forums, aimed at promoting comprehensive dialogue among Member States, and between Member States and relevant international organizations, UN system entities, and stakeholders.

This conference seeks to:

• Update on Recent Climate Policy Developments:

• Highlight Advances in Earth Observation

• Discuss Regulatory Implications

• Share Best Practices

• Foster Collaboration

A new type of geospatial event - aiming at connecting, conversation and collaboration with real questions around the state of play and where we are going regarding satellite as a business, platforms as a business, climate and humanitarian efforts.

With over 300 speakers and 17000 attendees this is one of the largest conferences for everything geospatial, geoinformation and land management under one roof. Big focus on survey including terrestrial and airborne so if you are interested in drones and their capabilities and the possibilities one to watch.

As it states, Europe's leading business event dedicated to the UAV industry. Co-located with the AAM Expo over 2 days with 300 exhibitors, 150 seminars and 3000 visitors.
