Bologna to host ASITA 2026 Geomatics Conference

The ASITA Federation has announced the 2026 Italian Conference on Geomatics and Geospatial Technologies, scheduled to take place in Bologna from November 17 to 20, 2026. Held at Palazzo d'Accursio and Salaborsa, the event will focus on the theme “Protagonists of change: from resilience to territorial regeneration.”

The conference aims to facilitate dialogue between research institutions, businesses, and public administrations regarding the role of geographic data, artificial intelligence, and Earth observation in managing environmental and territorial challenges. Key scientific topics include geospatial artificial intelligence (GeoAI), digital twins, satellite positioning, and the interoperability of territorial data.

Organized by the ASITA Federation—which includes the Italian Association of Cartography (AIC), the Italian Association of Remote Sensing (AIT), AM/FM/GIS Italia, and the Italian Society of Photogrammetry and Topography (SIFET)—the event is supported by the Emilia-Romagna Region. The program features 18 thematic sessions, plenary meetings, workshops, and scientific posters.
