Expression of Interest for Community Events

APPLICATIONS ARE NOW OPEN!

In the run-up to the Plenary and Ministerial Segment, the collective capabilities and achievements in delivering actionable Earth Intelligence solutions will be showcased through a series of community-led events on 5 and 6 May, alongside four days of exhibition.

Community Events, formerly known as Side Events, are a highlight of the GEO Global Forum’s first two days. Popular among participants, they draw a diverse audience, including GEO Plenary delegates, Work Programme contributors, private sector representatives, and other key stakeholders, fostering broad engagement across the GEO community.

To apply for a Community Event, please indicate your interest via the registration process by
31 January 2025.

Expression of Interest for Exhibits

APPLICATIONS ARE NOW OPEN!

Exhibits at GEO Global Forum showcase innovative technologies, tools and methodologies for monitoring and analysing Earth’s systems. These booths often feature interactive displays demonstrating the use of Earth observation data and Earth intelligence solutions in addressing global challenges such as climate change, biodiversity loss, and disaster management. Exhibits are generally hosted by governments, research institutions and industry partners,
and run throughout the week.

For further information on the available packages and pricing, please contact Ms Elisa Cannistraci – progettazione@arco-studio.net. Additional details will be included on the website in the new year.

Request for financial support to attend the GEO Global Forum 2025

You can request invitational travel support to attend the GEO Global Forum 2025 during the
registration process. The GEO Secretariat will prioritise financial support for individuals from lower-income countries from official delegations, including Principals, Alternates, and representatives of the Principals. This prioritisation will also take into account equity, diversity, and inclusion to ensure broad and balanced representation.

Applications for invitational travel support will be accepted until 15 February 2025.

We look forward to welcoming you to Rome for the GEO Global Forum 2025, as we celebrate 20 years of GEO and shape the future of Earth Intelligence together.

If you have any questions regarding registration or need assistance, please don’t hesitate to reach out to the GEO Secretariat at secretariat@geosec.org.

We are counting on you to make this milestone event a success. See you in Rome!
