Curated Executive Gatherings at the Intersection of Geospatial Innovation and Industry Transformation
Hosted by
Across transportation, water, utilities, and construction, the future is being shaped by geospatial and earth observation technologies. Join us for exclusive dinners with senior executives in an intimate, curated setting the evening before some of the most influential industry conferences, where we continue the mission of Moving Beyond Boundaries.
Horizons+ dinners set the stage with access to decision-makers, inspiring high-value conversations outside the noise of the convention floor. Engage in networking, followed by future-looking speakers, facilitating insight, conversation and connection at the highest level. Then continue the conversation while enjoying one of the host city's finest dining experiences.

Horizons+ Dinner?
“Over the past decade, we’ve seen extraordinary technological progress — from high-quality video conferencing and digital collaboration tools to the emergence of artificial intelligence. These innovations have made us more efficient, more connected, and more productive than ever before. Yet no technology can replicate the intimacy, trust, and creativity that come from true face-to-face conversation. The WGIC dinner series provides a space for that human connection — a place where friends and colleagues can come together, share ideas openly, and help shape the next generation of innovation.”
Bryn Fosburgh, Senior Vice President, Trimble
“The single-room dinner format created an environment for meaningful, natural conversations and deeper connections among attendees. As a sponsor, it offered unparalleled visibility with industry leaders and reinforced our company’s presence and recognition in the market—making it a highly valuable business opportunity.”
Andrea Krupa, President and CEO, Photosat
“The WGIC Horizons+ event was a unique, intimate event. As a sponsor, it provided Sparkgeo with uncommon access to pivotal figures in domain-specific industries. Colocating Horizons+ with the GoGeomatics expo meant that the convening power of the broader event could be leveraged alongside the exclusivity of the salon environment to deliver a series of singular and important conversations."
Will Cadell, Founder & CEO, Sparkgeo
“The dinner was a wonderful evening! It provided an excellent opportunity for a frank exchange of ideas in a smaller setting. I made new connections and learned about new aspects of the industry. It was time very well spent, and I'm already looking forward to attending another dinner in the future.”
Gitane De Silva, Founder & President, GDStrategic
“The Horizons+ Dinner was a fantastic opportunity to connect business leaders and innovators in a setting that encouraged genuine dialogue about the future of our industry. The format worked extremely well—intimate enough to spark meaningful conversations, yet broad enough to bring together different parts of the value chain. Events like this go beyond networking; they create the foundation for partnerships and business opportunities that continue long after the dinner ends.”
Jonathan Murphy, Founder & CEO, GoGeomatics Canada

Horizons+ Montreal Dinner
May 14, 2026
Join us for a curated gathering of senior leaders from tunneling, underground construction, public infrastructure, and the geospatial sector. Around the table, we’ll explore how underground engineering, spatial intelligence, and digital technology are reshaping the way cities expand, connect, and thrive. Together, we’ll dive into how mapping, underground digital twins, LiDAR and reality capture, geotechnical models, utility/asset data, and real-time monitoring are transforming the planning and delivery of major subterranean works — and how these integrated spatial systems enable safer, smarter, and more resilient urban infrastructure.
Held before World Tunnel Congress 2026
Horizons+ Madrid Dinner
May 17, 2026
Over dinner, we’ll explore how geospatial intelligence — from satellites and GIS to digital twins and real-time sensors — is reshaping how we plan, finance, and manage water. From mapping drought risk and flood resilience to optimizing wastewater reuse and smart distribution networks, spatial data is the “nervous system” that underpins resilient water futures.
Held before Global Water Summit
Horizons+ Nairobi Dinner
June 20, 2026
Join us for a curated gathering of senior public- and private-sector leaders, innovators and geospatial specialists. Around the table, we’ll explore how urban systems, geospatial intelligence and sustainability converge: how mapping, digital twins, real-time data and spatial analytics are driving resilient, inclusive cities under climate pressure. Against the backdrop of the conference theme, this evening will foster high-value, candid dialogue in an intimate setting of just 30-50 guests — creating space for authentic connection, strategic insight and collaboration. It’s the ideal way to set the tone ahead of I4C26’s full programme and deepen engagement with Africa’s urban-climate agenda.

Horizons+ Dinner
November 2026 Date TBD
Join us for a gathering designed for transportation leaders who are shaping not just the next budget cycle, but the next era of American mobility. As state DOT CEOs, transportation secretaries, and national innovators converge to define the future of the nation’s infrastructure, this evening invites guests to step back, zoom out, and view transportation through a spatial lens — where every roadway, corridor, community, and decision becomes part of a connected, intelligent, continuously evolving map. We will explore the idea that the future of transportation is not merely engineered—it is mapped, sensed, simulated, and spatially choreographed.
