Join the location community at the

123rd OGC Member Meeting

At the Hotel Meliá Barajas

In Madrid, Spain

June 13th - June 17th, 2022

OGC’s 123rd Member Meeting is here. Join us in Madrid, Spain, where we will continue to connect location, show why standards matter, and share how interoperable technologies like scalable cloud, AI/ML, and more are the future of geospatial.

Multiple times a year a quickly growing community of geospatial experts gathers to collaborate and advance the future of location through new, interoperable technologies and open standards that matter.

This one-week event with nearly 50 Working Group meetings and numerous special sessions, workshops, and keynotes. OGC Working Groups consist of Standards Working Groups - the movers and shakers of the future of FAIR data standards - and Domain Working Groups - thought-leaders in critical domains from across the globe and beyond.

OGC designs, creates, tests, and supports the use of FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) data standards and technologies. OGC’s global community of experts connects the world to geospatial in key areas like climate, disaster-relief and response, marine, and more. You can be a part of this community and help change the future of geospatial as we know it.
