Imago Annual Summit 2026

Imago Annual Summit 2026

Following on from the success of last year, Imago is hosting its second annual summit on satellite imagery! Through demonstrations, guest speakers and activities, we plan to showcase the power of satellite imagery, and Smart Data more broadly, for solving pressing sustainability, prosperity, and wellbeing challenges. The event will bring together both those already with awareness of satellite data and those wanting to explore its possibility, including researchers, engineers, practitioners, planners and policymakers.

About Imago

Imago is a data service funded by the ESRC Smart Data Research UK (SDR UK) programme, with the mission to transform the usability, utility, and usage of satellite imagery to revolutionise our understanding and resolution of urgent challenges facing the UK, especially where environmental vulnerability, urban development and housing, and health and wellbeing are concerned.

Agenda

Please see below for a preliminary agenda. Note that timings and sessions may slightly change closer to the event.

We're inviting abstracts for short talks at this year's Imago Annual Summit. Your talk needs to relate to satellite imagery, but it doesn't have to use Imago data. Talks will run for around 7 minutes, with time for questions afterwards. Only three speaking slots are available, so places are limited. We will fund UK travel for selected speakers, within University of Liverpool policy. We highly encourage submissions from early career researchers. Submissions open on 1st October and close on 6th November 2026. Please complete the and email it to [email protected] to apply.
