The conference is organized by the representatives from each Baltic state – the Latvia’s GIS Association, the Estonian Geoinformatics Society, and the Lithuanian Cartographic Society in cooperation with our conference partners.

The Baltic Geospatial Information Technology Conference (BGITC) is a unique cooperation among Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania in order to organise a regional industry event that fosters cross-border collaboration in the field of geospatial information technology (GIT). Apart from exchanging experiences to expand knowledge and innovation, as well as exploring market growth opportunities, the goal is to build a common view and vision for the development of GIT industry in the Baltic region.

The BGITC is an event for anyone who is interested in geospatial information technologies – be it students, researchers from universities, representatives from corporations, government institutions and municipalities or entrepreneurs.

Throughout the day, you will have an opportunity to:

• tune into speakers – both local and international – at any of the several parallel sessions
• meet and exchange ideas with GIT advocates, professionals and enthusiasts

We are inviting you to submit presentations for the upcoming Baltic Geospatial Information Technology Conference 2023.

The Call for Speakers closes on April 1, 2023. 

Here are some ideas for possible topics:

• New trends: IoT, indoor mapping, machine learning, drones, digital twins
• Data collection, data sharing, big data, data exploration platforms
• Analysis and visualization of geospatial data
• Solutions for strategic industries (crisis/disaster response, smart cities,
  climate change, marine monitoring etc.)
• Sensors, remote sensing, laser-scanning, structure from motion
• Standards, interoperability, spatial data infrastructure, INSPIRE implementations
