Truth Lies: What Geospatial Can (And Can’t!) Do for Your Next Project.

Geospatial data is more powerful and more misunderstood than ever. In this engaging and myth‑busting session, Jonathan Neufeld breaks down what geospatial tools can truly deliver for engineering and infrastructure projects, and where their limitations can quietly derail outcomes. He will also explore how geospatial capabilities are rapidly evolving, from advances in automation and AI-driven analysis to emerging sensor technologies and increasingly seamless integration with digital engineering workflows.

Attendees will gain practical clarity on how geospatial data informs planning, design, and execution today, and how upcoming innovations will transform accuracy, accessibility, and decision making in the years ahead. Expect straightforward explanations, real‑world examples, and take‑home insights that help engineers ask better questions, avoid common pitfalls, and prepare for the next generation of geospatial intelligence.
