Since 1998, the Association of Geographic Information Laboratories in Europe (AGILE) has been hosting annual conferences dedicated to Geographic Information Science. The upcoming AGILE 2026 conference will take place in Tartu, Estonia, from June 16 to 19, 2026.
The AGILE 2026 conference theme “Smart Data: Making geospatial data actionable” stresses the need to transform vast amounts of geospatial information into useful knowledge that can drive decision-making and solve real-world problems effectively.
We cordially invite researchers, practitioners, and professionals in all facets of Geographic Information Science and Technology and their applications to present ongoing research, showcase products, network with colleagues from Europe and the rest of the world, and find out about the latest developments in the field.
Topics of interest for submissions include, but are not limited to:
- Spatial Statistics and Geostatistics
- Visualisation of geospatial data
- Spatial Data Ecosystems
- Spatial Databases and Data Management
- Using remote sensing data in geospatial analysis and applications
- Web-based GI Systems and Services
- XR: Virtual, Augmented, Mixed Reality (VR, AR, MR)
