ST. LOUIS - The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency and Saint Louis University will co-host the 2026 Geo-Resolution conference, “Securing the Future with Geospatial,” at SLU’s Busch Student Center on Thursday, Sept. 10.

Busch Student Center

Geo-Resolution 2026 discussions will include:

The conference will highlight how, in an era of persistent strategic competition, mastering the geospatial domain is a national imperative. Next-generation geospatial science and technology are redefining how we understand, secure, and shape an increasingly complex world. The convergence of revolutionary GEOINT AI and quantum intelligence, leveraged by a deliberately transformed workforce, provides the decisive edge needed for the nation to deter conflict through strength.

Geo-Resolution is designed to provide participants — particularly students — access to geospatial experts from government, academia, innovation hubs, start-up companies and nonprofit organizations. Students will be able to meet local leaders from industry, academia and government to explore geospatial career opportunities.

The conference will include a student mentoring lunch, a poster session, a student geospatial career fair and networking opportunities.  

Geo-Resolution 2026 is free and open to the public. The conference will be held in person at Saint Louis University and streamed live on the conference website.

Geo-Resolution is an annual conference that encourages collaboration between government, academia and industry partners to foster geospatial technology innovation and applications, connect geospatial experts and students and grow the geospatial ecosystem in the greater St. Louis region.
