Fresno State: Building the Next Generation – How Fresno State’s geomatics program is training students on GNSS, LiDAR and datums in industry-style labs built for real-world field workflows.

Geo Week 2026: Workflows at Center Stage – Geo Week in Denver shifts from product talk to end-to-end workflows, highlighting how survey, AEC and reality capture tools now plug into shared data backbones.

Stonex: Reducing Friction in Survey Systems – Stonex simplifies GNSS and scanning integrations to smooth survey-to-construction handoffs and cut down on rework, file wrangling and format friction.

Trust at 165 MPH – Endurance racing as a living lab for Topcon GNSS and inertial data, where “great” positioning under pressure builds trust for both racetracks and jobsites.

Topcon 2.0 in Practice – How Topcon’s connected-workflow strategy, layered positioning resilience and open integration move geomatics cleanly from capture to construction.

Phoenix Rising – One LiDAR stack spanning UAS, mobile and airborne platforms, and what that means for consistent point clouds across corridors, cities and complex sites.

Calian AC4: GNSS Starts at the Antenna – An antenna-first approach to cleaning up GNSS signals in RF-heavy jobsites and feeding higher-integrity data into rovers and receivers.

Connecting the Jobsite – Trimble’s cloud-centric workflows that knit together mixed fleets, automation-ready data and project stakeholders from field crews to office engineers.

RTK for the Rest of Us: Emlid – App-first GNSS tools that put survey-grade RTK and streamlined field software into more hands, from small survey firms to infrastructure owner-operators.
