Geo Week

What Geo Week does

Geo Week is an annual trade show and conference serving the geospatial and built world industries, organized by Diversified Communications. The event debuted in 2022 and has scaled to 3,500+ attendees, 230+ exhibitors, 132+ conference sessions, and 22K+ newsletter subscribers, drawing a global audience of decision-makers across architecture/engineering/construction, aerial mapping, lidar and reality capture, land surveying, government/DOT operations, facility management, and natural resource management. Its core offering is a three-day physical event combining an exhibition floor, multi-track conference programming, hands-on demonstration zones, and structured networking — with co-located conference content from ASPRS and the Reality Capture Network (RCN) and marketing partnerships with nine additional industry associations.

The business model is event-driven and transactional. Revenue is generated from three streams: (1) attendee registration with tiered, time-based pricing (Full Conference passes ranging $995-$1,425, Exhibit Hall Only at $195-$275, with discounts for government, students, and groups of 5+), (2) exhibitor booth sales and a large menu of marketing sponsorship packages priced from $500 to $13,250 (Welcome Reception, WiFi, Coffee Breaks, Bag Sponsor, etc.), and (3) Digital Insider Access, a $200 premium digital add-on extending content access beyond the live event. Geo Week distributes through direct online and on-site registration, exhibitor booth reservations managed via an event technology platform, and a multi-channel marketing engine including a dedicated Geo Week News content site, email newsletter, LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, and X/Twitter.

The company is relocating its flagship event from Denver, CO to Salt Lake City, UT (Salt Palace Convention Center, Feb 23-25, 2027) to embed the event within Silicon Slopes, a fast-growing tech and geospatial hub. Operationally, Geo Week is a small team (11-50 employees) executing within Diversified Communications' broader international media and events portfolio, which includes Commercial UAV Expo, Digital Construction Week, and GeoBusiness Show.

Broad incumbents

• Autodesk University: Annual flagship conference for Autodesk's AEC and design software users. Targets a substantial slice of Geo Week's AEC, BIM, and digital twin audience as a vendor-owned competitor event.
• Trimble Dimensions: Biennial user conference hosted by Trimble for its positioning, modeling, and geospatial technology customers. A large incumbent-owned conference competing for the same geospatial and AEC attendee base with a similar technology showcase format.
• Esri User Conference: Annual flagship user conference for Esri's GIS software ecosystem, drawing tens of thousands of geospatial professionals. While GIS-centric rather than vendor-neutral, it represents the largest competing gathering for the same geospatial professional audience.
• Hexagon HxGN LIVE: Annual conference for Hexagon's geospatial and industrial software/hardware customers. Comparable audience of geospatial, AEC, and reality capture professionals, but owned by a single major vendor rather than vendor-neutral.

Direct peers

• INTERGEO: Leading global geospatial trade fair and conference held annually in Germany, run by DVW. INTERGEO is the international flagship event for the geospatial community, with comparable attendee/exhibitor scope and content coverage across airborne, terrestrial, and built world applications.
• Digital Construction Week: Another Diversified Communications sister event focused on digital tools and technology for the built world. Operates the same event business model and shares overlap with Geo Week's AEC and digital twin audience segments.
• SPAR 3D Expo & Conference: Long-standing 3D technology and reality capture event for AEC, engineering, and surveying professionals. Direct competitor for reality capture and 3D scanning exhibitors, with overlapping content areas in lidar, photogrammetry, and point clouds.
• GeoBusiness Show: UK-based sister event under Diversified Communications focused on geospatial data and technology for business. Closely comparable model and ownership, targeting the same buyer personas but serving the UK/European market rather than North America.
• Commercial UAV Expo: Direct sister event under Diversified Communications focused on commercial drone/UAV technology. Operates a similar trade show + conference model targeting adjacent geospatial verticals (aerial mapping, lidar), making it the most structurally comparable peer, including shared sales/support infrastructure.

Emerging players

• AEC Next (SPAR 3D co-located): Event focused on the convergence of architecture, engineering, construction, and 3D technologies. Historically co-located with SPAR 3D and targeting overlapping themes (reality capture, BIM, digital twins) that Geo Week covers via RCN track.
