Overview

GeoNEXT convenes Geospatial leaders on April 15th in Downtown STL, part of the 4th Annual STL TechWeek, hosted at venues across St. Louis

Presenting Sponsor T-Kartor welcomes you to GeoNEXT, a full-day immersion into what’s next at the intersection of geospatial, AI, and real-world decision advantage.

Hosted as part of TechSTL’s TechWeek, GeoNEXT brings together leading innovators, operators, investors, and leaders who understand that location intelligence is no longer a niche capability, it’s a foundational layer of modern industry.

Yes, St. Louis is proud to be home to the newly opened NGA Campus West. But GeoNEXT is about much more than national security. It’s about how geospatial technologies are transforming how business is done across virtually every major sector of the economy.

From the Midwest to the global stage, GeoNEXT will spotlight how geospatial and AI are driving impact in:

  • Agriculture & Food Systems – precision ag, climate resilience, yield optimization
  • Transportation & Logistics – supply chain visibility, routing, autonomy, and resilience
  • Energy & Oil/Gas – asset intelligence, risk, sustainability, and infrastructure planning
  • Telecommunications – network planning, expansion, and spatial optimization
  • Spatial Finance – risk modeling, site intelligence, underwriting, and investment strategy

GeoNEXT convenes industry leaders, startups, researchers, and ecosystem builders who are applying geospatial thinking beyond maps — into insight, foresight, and competitive advantage. Expect practical use cases, bold ideas, and meaningful conversations that connect technology to outcomes.

Whether you’re building, deploying, investing in, or relying on location intelligence, GeoNEXT is where the future of geospatial moves from concept to execution.

Join us for a conference that proves geospatial isn’t just about where things are — it’s about where things are going.
