WHO WE ARE

Welcome to the sixth annual NORTH51 conference, a dynamic gathering that embodies the spirit of modernization in the geospatial industry. We're entrepreneurs, passionate about bringing a platform to the industry to share grand, global, market-changing ideas.

At NORTH51, it's not just about companies; it's about innovation, exploration, and pushing the boundaries of what's possible in geospatial technology. Our conference transcends company affiliations to focus on the forward-thinking individuals behind the scenes.

Our event showcases keynotes, presentations, panels, and invaluable networking opportunities that break away from the traditional mold. NORTH51 speakers and presenters are visionaries who share emerging ideas, groundbreaking technologies, and their predictions about the future of our industry.

Drawing in over 100 leaders from across Canada, the USA, and beyond, NORTH51 brings together those at the intersection of high technology knowledge and high strategic insight. This unique mix of attendees fosters engaging conversations, sparks innovation, and creates unparalleled networking opportunities.

What sets NORTH51 apart is that it's organized by an industry-led group of entrepreneurs who live and breathe geospatial technology every day. We understand the pulse of the industry, and our conference reflects our commitment to driving progress and innovation. It's not just about the companies; it's about the future of geospatial technology and the remarkable individuals shaping it.

Join us at NORTH51, where we're redefining the conference experience and propelling the geospatial industry forward.

“Sparkgeo has always been about ideas. We have seen important geospatial events become more about sales than ideas or leadership. NORTH51 has consistently focused on bringing together influential geospatial thinkers in a beautiful, inspirational environment. When we heard the conference might be at risk, the Sparkgeo team leapt at the opportunity to get involved. In the end, a geospatial consulting company like ours is defined by our ideas. Events like NORTH51 are our fuel.”

— Co-Chair, Will Cadell, CEO, Sparkgeo
