Geo-Resolution 2024

Modeling the Future to Address Today’s Geospatial Challenges

Sept. 12, 2024
Saint Louis University, Busch Student Center, 20 N. Grand Boulevard, St. Louis, MO 63103
Conference - 8:30 a.m.-6 p.m. (CDT), TGI Expo - 3:30-5:30 p.m. (CDT)

Mission Statement

The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) and Saint Louis University (SLU) are co-sponsoring Geo-Resolution 2024, supported by the Taylor Geospatial Institute, to provide a venue for collaboration among geospatial experts and students in government, academia and industry. This year’s conference focuses on the development and application of geospatial models, such as digital twins, that can be used to address some of the world’s most critical challenges.

Conference Theme

This year’s Geo-Resolution Conference highlights the important role of geospatial models in addressing global issues and advancing geospatial science. Building off of the 2023 theme, with its focus on digital transformations and GeoAI, this year’s conference dives deeper into key areas for geospatial research and innovation, such as digital twins, gaming and simulation, big data, artificial intelligence, and more. We will also consider how new technologies and applications for geospatial modeling might impact the future of the geospatial workforce and the skills needed to make an impact in the geospatial field.

This year’s conference will consider:

What are the strengths and weak spots of modeling in geospatial research and analysis
What are areas for growth and development over the next decade and beyond?
How has the development of generative AI influenced the types and possibilities of modeling in the geospatial field?
What are some of the specific global challenges that geospatial researchers have been addressing through modeling?
What are the new technologies or techniques of geospatial modeling that will be critical skills for the future workforce?

Featured Events

Student Mentoring Lunch with Career Exploration

11:45 a.m.-1 p.m. (CDT): Local leaders from industry, academia and government will join students for a networking lunch to discuss geospatial career paths, the skill sets in demand, and how to establish a successful career in the geospatial field. Attendance at this event is by invitation only. Students and mentors can indicate their interest in attending in the registration form.

Student Poster Session

Each year Geo-Resolution hosts an academic poster session to share the new, exciting research that is happening in geospatial across the United States. We welcome posters on a wide range of research topics as long as there is a geospatial aspect to the work. Whether your study uses location science as an analytic mapping tool or your research is breaking new ground in geospatial technologies, we want to highlight your work for the Geo-Resolution audience. Posters where the participant is listed as a co-author will be accepted. Posters do not have to be new and may be previously presented.

High school, undergraduate and graduate students are invited to create posters depicting the critical role of geospatial techniques in their research and become eligible to win cash prizes. Posters will be displayed during the conference. For more information, visit the poster session application form.
