Shaping the Future of Smart Integrated Connected Infrastructure
As infrastructure projects become larger and more complex, organizations require integrated digital workflows that connect planning, engineering, construction, and operations. Learn how cutting-edge technologies such as GeoBIM, Digital Twins, Survey Data Integration, LiDAR, and Drone Mapping are enabling stakeholders to visualize assets in a real-world context, monitor project progress with greater accuracy, and improve collaboration among project teams. These technologies provide a comprehensive digital representation of infrastructure, helping organizations make faster, data-driven decisions throughout the project lifecycle.
The Infrastructure Summit showcases how Geographic Information System (GIS) technology is driving the digital transformation of India's rapidly evolving infrastructure ecosystem. Bringing together leaders from airports, ports, roads, railways, warehousing, and logistics, this summit will demonstrate how location intelligence enables smarter planning, efficient execution, and sustainable operations across the entire transportation value chain.
Join us at the Infrastructure Summit - Shaping the Future of Smart Integrated Connected Infrastructure on September 3, 2026, during the Esri India User Conference. Discover how GIS is shaping the future of infrastructure, enabling connected ecosystems, resilient assets, and smarter mobility for a rapidly growing nation. Attendees will also receive a complimentary invitation to the plenary session of the Esri India User Conference, providing an opportunity to connect with business leaders and innovators from various industries, including government, defense, public safety, academia, and environmental sustainability. Witness firsthand how GIS is being leveraged across sectors.
