The GEO Symposium 2023 is set to take place in person in Geneva on June 13-14, 2023, followed by the Open Data and Open Knowledge Workshop. This year's event marks a significant milestone for the global Earth observation community, as it will be the first in-person symposium since 2019.

The annual symposium, hosted by the Group on Earth Observations (GEO), provides a platform for members of the GEO Work Programme community to exchange knowledge, share experiences, and foster collaboration. The theme for the 2023 symposium is "Stand out in the crowd: GEO Work Programme for Nature, People, and Planet."

Participants at the symposium will draw on GEO's previous accomplishments to showcase how GEO can accelerate equitable access to Earth observations and develop and share information that leads to impact. The event will feature a range of interactive dialogue sessions on the GEO Post-2025 strategy and the GEO Work Programme. Thematic sessions of the event will focus on…

Under the theme, "Taking the Pulse of the Planet”, 275 members of the GEO community, from more than 45 countries, will chart the next steps in creating and implementing a Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS) during the Group on Earth Observations (GEO) Eleventh Plenary Session to be held on 12-14 November in Geneva, Switzerland. One highlight of the conference will be announcement of the winners of the GEO Appathon, a global “app” development competition built on the 80 million-plus resources currently available through GEOSS. The Appathon attracted 250 competitors from 50 countries and will generate easy-to-use decision tools for mobile devices and computers. GEO’s mandate is to harness the power of Earth observations from sources across the globe to provide more and better information to leaders in government, industry, and civil society confronting fundamental decisions affecting people and societies world-wide. Key GEO initiatives that will be highlighted during…
