IGARSS 2027 (IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium)

IGARSS 2027, the IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, runs from 11 to 16 July 2027 at Harpa Concert Hall and Conference Centre in Reykjavík, Iceland. The IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society organizes it with the IEEE Iceland Section, and the University of Iceland's Jón Atli Benediktsson, Gabriele Cavallaro and Magnús Örn Úlfarsson serve as general chairs. The 2027 theme is 'Global Vision for a Changing Planet'. AI runs through the technical program: special themes cover agentic AI for Earth observation and foundation models and embeddings, and a general AI and Big Data theme covers large-scale machine learning, on-board edge processing and digital twins. Abstracts and manuscripts are due 11 January 2027.

• ✓Remote sensing and Earth observation researchers
• ✓Geospatial AI and ML engineers
• ✓Space agency and satellite operator staff
• ✓Climate and environmental data scientists
• ✓Industry representatives from geospatial and satellite companies
• ✓Policymakers working on climate and hazards

For a CTO or head of AI at a satellite, insurance, agriculture, energy or climate-risk company, IGARSS shows how far geospatial foundation models and agentic Earth observation pipelines have actually come. Space agencies, satellite operators and the academic groups building the benchmarks all attend, so it suits sourcing data partners, hiring remote sensing ML talent and checking vendor claims against peer-reviewed results. The full program goes online on 15 May 2027, well before travel has to be booked.

• ✓Special theme SP.3: Agentic AI for Earth Observation
• ✓Special theme SP.5: Foundation Models and Embeddings for Earth Observation
• ✓Special theme SP.6: Datasets, Benchmarks, and Evaluation Methodologies for Earth Observation
• ✓AI and Big Data themes: HPC in remote sensing, large-scale machine learning, real-time and edge analytics, IoT, digital twins
• ✓Tutorials, with proposals due 3 November 2026
• ✓Student Paper Competition and travel support program

• ★The IEEE GRSS flagship symposium, which organizers say typically draws more than 3,000 attendees
• ★Dedicated special themes on agentic AI and foundation models for Earth observation
• ★A single venue for space agencies, satellite operators, researchers and policymakers
• ★A published, fully dated timeline running from theme proposals in 2026 to the technical program in May 2027
