Utilities and service networks-including power, oil and gas, and telecommunications-form the essential systems that enable economic activity, public safety, and daily life. As electrification accelerates, broadband demand grows, data centers expand, and regulatory and sustainability expectations increase, utilities are under pressure to modernize networks, improve reliability, and operate more efficiently across vast and complex geographies.

This session brings together leaders from across utilities and service networks to explore how geospatial platforms, high-resolution imagery, remote sensing, and AI-driven analytics are transforming planning, operations, and decision-making. The discussion will focus on how spatial intelligence is being operationalized across utility workflows-from network planning and asset management to risk mitigation, emissions monitoring, and service continuity-and how shared geospatial approaches are enabling more resilient, efficient, and future-ready utility systems across power, energy, and communications.

Discussion Topics

• Role of geospatial intelligence in planning, siting, and expanding utility and service networks
• Use of high-resolution imagery, remote sensing, and analytics for asset monitoring, integrity management, and risk reduction
• Spatial analytics supporting predictive maintenance, outage preparedness, and operational performance
• Digital twins and network models for simulation, capacity planning, and system modernization
• Integration of geospatial platforms with utility operations, engineering, and enterprise systems
• Use of spatial intelligence for emissions monitoring, environmental compliance, and regulatory reporting
