About this Event
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.
