FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Conference Sessions Demonstrate AI-Powered Solutions for Predictive Maintenance, Automated Asset Management, and Real-Time Infrastructure Monitoring
DENVER, CO – February 11, 2026 – As America grapples with aging infrastructure and a $1 trillion modernization challenge, artificial intelligence (AI) is emerging as a critical tool for managing transportation networks, utilities, and critical infrastructure assets at unprecedented scale. Geo Week, taking place February 16-18, 2026, at the Colorado Convention Center in Denver, Colorado, will examine how AI and machine learning have moved from experimental technology to essential infrastructure management tools deployed by transportation agencies and utility companies nationwide.
Geo Week’s conference program demonstrates how AI is enabling what was previously impossible: comprehensive monitoring of vast infrastructure networks with limited resources.
“AI and machine learning are constantly evolving, and the Geo Week conference program is designed to keep professionals on the cutting edge and help them overcome real-world challenges when embracing digitization,” said Carla Lauter, Senior Content Manager at Geo Week. “From automatically inventorying tens of thousands of highway signs to predicting bridge failures before they occur, AI-powered geospatial systems are transforming how professionals capture, analyze, and act on spatial data.”
Key AI-Focused Sessions at Geo Week 2026 include:
- Reimagining Mapping with AI and Scalable Technologies
- DOT Case Studies in Digital Delivery
- New Techniques for Critical Infrastructure Inspection
- AI, Gaussian Splatting and What Comes Next
- Integrating BIM and Geospatial Technologies for Smarter Construction
- Keynote: Precision and Intelligence: Powering the Next Era of Geospatial Innovation
Geo Week sessions will demonstrate how AI is transforming infrastructure management from a largely manual task into an automated, predictive system operating at unprecedented scale. For example, transportation departments managing thousands of miles of networks now use mobile lidar vehicles to automatically extract comprehensive asset inventories—processing in hours what took months with traditional methods. Conference sessions also explore standardized data formats aligning with the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, paving the way for autonomous infrastructure management and representing a fundamental shift from reactive maintenance to proactive, predictive management.
With more than 225 exhibitors on the show floor, Geo Week attendees will have direct access to the latest AI-integrated geospatial solutions—from lidar sensors with onboard AI processing to cloud platforms offering automated feature extraction and machine learning-powered analytics—providing hands-on opportunities to evaluate technologies that are reshaping infrastructure management.
