GEO Business 2021 moved to the fall

Diversified Communications, organizer of the GEO Business 2021 event, announced that the show will be moved from May 19-20 to Nov. 24-25. It will still take place at ExCel London.

GEO Business connects the data holders and processors with the people who benefit from the applications and insight, which geospatial information provides.

“Although all the signs are positive for a restart for large scale events from Easter, we feel May could be a little early to give everyone the best possible chance for a great show,” said Diversified Communications. “So after consulting with the geospatial community, we’ve made the tough decision to push GEO Business back to the autumn for one year.”

GEO Business will give attendees the opportunity to explore the latest geospatial technology, learn from industry experts, try technology before they it buy, grow their professional work and boost their careers, organizers added.

GEO Business 2020 postponed again because of COVID-19

GEO Business 2020 has been postponed again because of COVID-19. The show, originally rescheduled to take place Sept. 24-25, has been rescheduled to take place May 19-20, 2021. It will still take place at ExCeL London.

According to organizers, the GEO Business show connects the data holders and processors with the people who benefit from the applications and insight which geospatial information provides.

“We appreciate how important GEO Business is for you, your business and the whole profession,” GEO Business said in a statement. “And we’re very sorry to disappoint you and the thousands of others who were planning on visiting this year. However, the safety of our visitors, speakers and exhibitors remains our priority.”

The 2021 event will now take place alongside Digital Construction Week, an event dedicated to digital construction, engineering, design, manufacturing and operation.

“Whilst both will remain separate shows, they will in effect create one much larger technology event for the sector,” GEO Business added.

GEO Business 2020 rescheduled amid coronavirus concerns

GEO Business 2020 organizer Diversified Communications U.K. has decided to change both the venue and date for the event. The event will now be taking place Sept. 24-25 at ExCeL London.

According to show organizers, GEO Business is the U.K.’s largest geospatial event designed for those involved in the gathering, storing, processing and delivering of geospatial information.

“GEO Business is one of the most important business events for the geospatial industry,” said Carsten Holm, managing director of Diversified Communications U.K. “A lot of companies rely on it to meet new and current customers, so this decision has not been taken lightly. However, the response to the outbreak is unprecedented and I think many would agree that it is not a climate in which we want to hold the show. The success, as well as the safety of our exhibitors and visitors, have always been our priority and this continues to be the case. We have been overwhelmed with support on the decision to move the show to new dates, including from our show partners AGI, CICES, TSA, ICE and RICS.”

Portfolio Director Caroline Hobden also addressed the location change.

“After six successful years at the Business Design Centre, we have taken the decision to move GEO Business to the new venue ExCeL London,” she said. “As the show has continued to grow, we have been looking to move to an alternative venue in 2021. However, the current situation presented an opportunity to make the move ahead of plan this year. Best of all, this new tenancy keeps the show in the heart of London.”
