Geo Week, the single powerhouse event that champions the coming together of geospatial technologies and the built world, is accepting nominations to celebrate excellence in the geospatial market. The 2022 Geo Week Awards Ceremony includes the LIDAR Leader Awards, Younger Geospatial Professional Award, and the ASPRS Awards, and honors the achievements of individuals and teams working in the geospatial technology space. The ceremonies will take place during Geo Week in Denver, CO, on February 7, 2022.

"We're so pleased to recognize personal and group achievement in the geospatial arena. This is something attendees look forward to, and after a two-year hiatus, there's even more excitement about coming together to celebrate the achievements of these industries," said Lee Corkhill, Event Director of Geo Week.

Spatial Media's LIDAR Magazine ( http://www.lidarmag.com) will assist the program by encouraging nominations and publishing pre- and post-show analyses of finalists. Managing Editor Dr. Stewart Walker will assist a distinguished panel that will review and judge submissions.

Past recipients include Karl Heidemann, Physical Scientist, USGS (Retired), Joint Airborne Lidar Bathymetry Technical Center of Expertise (JALBTCX) Team, Woolpert, AEye for the AE110 Artificial Perception System, A. Albright—University of Houston, and Hasso Plattner Institut.

Dr. Walker remarked: "We all acknowledge that this is high summer for lidar, from the SPACs and sensor action from the automotive players, who are also addressing other verticals, to the fabulous sensors and remarkable project completion that are characteristic of the geospatial market. We want to recognize the visionaries who make all this possible, through their energy, imagination and risk-taking."

The Younger Geospatial Professional Award, in partnership with Lidar News, recognizes the outstanding accomplishments and leadership by an exceptional member of the worldwide, geospatial community 35 years of age or younger.
